Description

Specialties

The Meisner Technique Studio of San Francisco is open to anyone — regardless of previous training and/​or acting experience. There are seasoned professionals with extensive training along side students who’ve never acted before — all in the same class. That’s because everyone starts at the same place — the very beginning of The Meisner Technique.

There is no audition for acceptance nor is previous training or experience a criteria for acceptance. The sole requirement for acceptance into The Meisner Technique Studio is the desire to call yourself an actor and have it truly mean something. Also, we are only interested in students with the following characteristics: passionate, dedicated, professional and humble.

History

Established in 1987.

After his apprenticeship, Jarrett emerged as Sanford Meisner’s last teaching protégé and for the last twenty years he has taught throughout North America, Europe and Asia on behalf of the standards and respect for the craft of acting Sandy stood for. In 2006, Jarrett «came home» to San Francisco and opened The Meisner Technique Studio. In so doing, he made good on a promise he’d made to Sandy many years before — to establish an acting school dedicated solely to the teachings of Sanford Meisner.
