IIFW Actor’s Workshop

After garnering tremendous response, Vipin Sharma, a seasoned actor and IIFW member is back to conduct a 3rd Actors’ workshop based on the popular Meisner technique.

The IIFW Actors’ Workshop- Meisner technique

The monthly IIFW Acting Workshop aims to benefit not only actors but directors, writers or anyone who is interested in understanding how to create a credible character.

The interactive workshop will lend an insight into a performer’s mind through various exercises. By deconstructing the different methods one will try and understand the role of an actor vis-à-vis the character he or she is playing.

Using the infamous Repetition exercise Vipin will demonstrate the vision of one of the most insightful acting teachers in the world Sanford Meisner who trained many of the legendary actors in North American and Europe. This is a great opportunity to get a taste of his teachings for the first time in Bombay. Here is a link to Meisner.
