Interested in the Meisner technique but never had a chance to try it out? Come sample our Meisner workshop with a free one-hour session. See for yourself what the technique can do, no strings attached! Meisner’s definition of acting: “to behave truthfully under imaginary circumstances.” Students will learn to be more present, trust their instincts, and achieve more emotional freedom on stage. All levels welcome.
Instructor Bio:
Nicolas Jupillat is a San Francisco-based attorney who is passionate about acting and storytelling in the service of justice and personal growth. After performing in college theater productions in France and the Netherlands, he attended the Mulholland Film Academy in Amsterdam where he had the privilege to train in the Meisner technique under the late Jacqueline McClintock. In 2023, he successfully taught the technique at the Portland Community College before moving to California.
