From Stage to Syllabus: Reimagining Meisner for the Classroom
In this engaging episode, we welcome authors Scott Trost and Emmy Levine to Kendall Hunt Publishing to discuss their dynamic new course, The Meisner Technique: Learning the Acting Ropes. Designed with higher education theater and fine arts programs in mind, their course invites students and instructors alike into a transformative, hands-on exploration of Sanford Meisner’s legendary acting method.
Scott and Emmy share how their approach prioritizes interactivity, experiential learning, and the power of learning by doing. With an emphasis on authentic emotional connection and active participation, they explain how the Meisner Technique prepares students not just for performance, but for deep personal and artistic growth.
Whether you’re a professor seeking a more immersive curriculum or a student hungry for practical training rooted in professional tradition, this episode will inspire you to rethink what it means to teach—and learn—acting.
