Level 1: Living Truthfully begins with our exploration of legendary acting teacher Sanford Meisner’s definition of acting which states, “Acting is the ability to live truthfully under imaginary circumstances.” By exploring what it means to “live truthfully” through Meisner’s innovative, improvisational repetition exercises you’ll:
- Identify the differences between self consciousness and presence
- Practice being more responsive, spontaneous, emotionally alive, and grounded in the moment
- Understand what it feels like to get out of your head and follow your ‘gut’ impulses
This class is ideal for:
- Adults ages 18+ interested in developing their skills in a fun, welcoming environment
- Actors who want to develop a reliable, solid technique to act on stage and for the camera
- Students who want to study a technique rooted in courage, empathy, and vulnerability
Testimonials:
“Hands down, Green Shirt has provided the best acting classes I’ve taken in Chicago! Very welcoming and willing to meet each student where they are at.”
– Catherine N.
“I took a level 1 Meisner class here, and it was worth every penny. Many actors I know have taken classes here, but as a non-actor, I found the acting exercises incredibly fulfilling. I was able to grow as a more empathetic person, despite living in a time where we are closed off from our fellow humans.”
– Gilbert T.
“The Meisner classes are fun, challenging, engaging, and forgiving. The instructors are passionate about the craft and want to push their students to their greatest potential.”
– Kat M.

We appreciate you respecting this policy for the best experience for our instructors and students! Please reach out at 773-217-9565 if you have any questions. Studio Cancellation In the event that class is canceled due to circumstances beyond our control (including but not limited to extreme weather and pandemic related shutdowns), make-up classes will be scheduled as soon as it’s safe for our students and instructors to be together safely at the studio. In some cases classes may transfer to an online platform. If a student is unable to attend the rescheduled class due to circumstances beyond our control (including but not limited to extreme weather and pandemic related shutdowns) that student will receive credit on their account for the value of missed classes. Attendance Policy We understand that things do come up so if you know you’re going to miss a class, please give your instructor as advance notice as possible. This will help them get you caught up and not throw off the rest of the group. Scheduling a make-up class is possible but not guaranteed. Students enrolled in our Meisner Acting Program can only advance to the next level if they’ve attended at least 6 of their 8 sessions. If a student misses more than 2 sessions, they will need to retake the level in order to advance in the program. |
