This introduction and workshop opens the door to deeper training that will support you through auditions, rehearsals, and performance.
You’ll explore a process that helps you be fully present—responding in the moment, not from a script in your head, but from instinct.
In this workshop, actors will:
Listen instinctively
Respond truthfully
Work moment-to-moment through improvisation
You’ll also experience a short Meisner exercise so you can feel the work for yourself.
All levels welcome.
Date: Sunday, August 30
Time: 4PM–6PM
Ages: 13–19
Price: $85
Led by Talia Schneiderman - Meisner trained at Baron Brown Studio, Santa Monica, CA
ABOUT TALIA
“I graduated from UC Berkeley in 2006 with a degree in Art History. After graduating, I moved back to Los Angeles to pursue my acting Dream and enrolled in the two-year Meisner program at the Baron Brown Studio in Santa Monica, where I completely fell in love with the craft.
Shortly after I graduated, Joanne Baron—the founder and owner of the studio—invited me to train with her to become a teacher for her studio. She taught me privately, and I learned how to teach the Meisner Technique in its integrity, as Sanford Meisner taught it. I then went on to teach at Baron Brown Studio for several years, roughly from 2009 through 2017.
After recently moving to the area, I slowly began teaching small groups again, which has been incredibly rewarding and so much fun. It reminded me how much I love the work and how much I enjoy guiding students through the process.”
Some of Talia’s students at Baron Brown Studio include:
Hopper Penn (whom I worked with privately for a period of time)
as well as Emma Raimi.
