Meisner Repetition Exercise - Call Maggie Flanigan Studio (917) 789-1599

Meisner training begins with repetition. This short video explains what the repetition exercise is and why it is the heart and soul of the Meisner Technique.

Meisner's technique, the seed of his incredible actor training begins with a repetition. It's what he's known for: Meisner and repetition. On the very first class, and for a number of weeks, we start with very basic repetition. Really, what that is is two people standing across from each other, in contact with each other, getting the place out of concentration off of yourself and onto the other person, and to begin to start to take in another human being. Then from there, there's something that you might notice on them, with them.

Then this repetition begins. I guess the guideline really is to repeat what you hear. It tunes up your hearing. What you discover early on is how difficult it is really to be alerted in every moment to what another person is saying to you. Not only what they're saying to you, but how they're talking to you. As the beginning of the repetition work starts to evolve, students begin to start to alert themselves to subtext. How are you being talked to? How are you being treated? The great thing about this beginning work is that it gets you out of your head.

You do not have to think about what to say. I tell my students, "When in doubt, repeat." In that beginning work, when you're nervous and insecure and you're starting something really new, not worrying about what you have to say, being able to put all of your attention on the other person and start to listen and take in so that the other person can start to land on you is the heart and soul of Meisner technique, and it starts with a repetition.
