Meisner Weekend Intensive
Master the Art of Acting Truthfully
Levy Baltazar is an all-around fantastic Meisner teacher! He is passionate about the craft of acting, fully present with each student, and has a wealth of knowledge that he's eager to share. As a former student of Jana Lee Hamblin, I very much appreciate that he is teaching Meisner in a style that closely follows her unique methodology. Levy also has a warmth that puts you at ease, while still pushing you to become a better actor. I look forward to studying with him more!

Sanford Meisner said that his approach to training “is based on bringing the actor back to his emotional impulses and to acting that is firmly rooted in the instinctive. It is based on the fact that all good acting comes from the heart, as it were, and that there’s no mentality to it.”
Learn to live in the moment as an actor, and let go of any idea of result. Learn what it means to really “do” and to respond truthfully to a given moment based on what you get from your partner. Through improvisation, emotional truth and personal response learn to resonate authenticity within a given circumstance. Only in this way will you begin to understand the definition of real acting, which is “to live truthfully under the imaginary circumstances”.
This weekend intensive condenses 4 regular classes into one powerful weekend!

Tonight I went to Vision8Studio's Meisner class taught by Levy Baltazar and I was impressed. The studio was absolutely beautiful and I would highly recommend taking a class from this studio. If you're looking to learn Meisner in an inviting environment this is the place to be. SANFORD MEISNER |

I say DITTO to Christie's comments. I had a great 1st time experience. Levy's guidance for me as a 'novice to the Meisner technique ' was wonderful. Wow talk about opening your eyes to another approach in acting!
