For the first time in Florida, you can study with Master Meisner Teacher and renowned author, Larry Silverberg, in his rigorous online training program while working in person, at Art’s Sake Studio, with Larry’s designated Meisner teacher, Christy Poggi. Take your online work with Larry to a profound understanding and experience!
Larry and Christy have a long collaboration. Christy is a graduate of Larry’s teacher certification program. For many years, they have been leading actors who have come to them to learn the most organic and human acting technique.
The work you will do with Larry and Christy is aimed at unleashing the fully expressive and creative artist in you. Through this meticulous step-by-step process, you will become an actor who is vibrantly alive, spontaneous, present, deeply available, and truthful in every moment. The gift of this program is that you will find and strengthen in yourself a dependable way of working that empowers you to bring reality, simplicity, and humanity to your work on stage and in front of the camera.
In this 10 weeks of training, Larry will guide you and nurture you online in a rigorous series of in-depth training videos where you will learn from Larry, watch his students doing the work, and then do the work yourself. Each week, you will join Christy Poggi at Art’s Sake Studio to take the work and practice into the group environment where you will be encouraged and guided under her sensitive and skillful hands.
The Meisner Blended Program is one of a kind in the power of learning from multiple vantage points and working with masterful teachers. This is your opportunity to truly uncover the artist you have dreamed of becoming.
