First Year Meisner Technique class is forming for a late August start in Ealing (Evenings).
This class will be a full course of study—not a workshop. It’s designed for those who to become better actors, communicators and listeners via authentic in-depth instruction in the Meisner technique.
Sanford Meisner designed his technique as a two-year process for a reason—it takes time, trust, and consistent reinforcement to truly internalize and apply these tools. Many London courses offer a quick glimpse of the Meisner technique, but real understanding can’t be fast-tracked. Without experiential investigation any technique remains surface-level theory. If you’re serious about gaining the invaluable tools Mr. Meisner developed, seek out training that respects the process and teaches the exercises as they were intended.
Markus Flanagan is the only teacher in London to have graduated from the Neighborhood Playhouse during the tenure of Sanford Meisner. He takes honoring the legacy of the technique very seriously and teaches the technique exactly as Mr. Meisner taught it to him.
Class is limited to 12, please make a deposit below to secure your inclusion.
(If you come to the first class and decide it’s not for you, your deposit will be refunded.)
The full first year is described here.

About the Instructor
“In class, Mr. Meisner always said, ‘the seed to the root of acting, is the reality of doing.'” Markus Flanagan created the Westlake Acting Studio in 2008 with the goal of passing on exactly what he learned from Mr. Meisner. This technique can’t be learned by reading a book, it must be introduced, practiced, and reinforced properly in class until you have married your authentic, truthful, spontaneous behavior with the writer’s words.
That’s living truthfully under the imaginary circumstance.
Markus studied with Mr. Meisner at The Neighborhhood Playhouse where he graduated from the two year program.
