Meisner Foundation For Acting Class
The Meisner Acting Classes at Pinch 'N' Ouch Theatre lay an important foundation for acting, utilizing Sanford Meisner's legendary acting technique. You will learn how to use your powerful emotional life to create believable characters from the ground up, and discover how to move audiences with engaging storytelling that meet them where they are today. Each week, you will be guided through acting exercises that bring you closer to your emotional impulses and to acting that is firmly rooted in the instinctive. As Meisner puts it, "it's based on the fact that all good acting comes from the heart, as it were, and that there is no mentality in it." These classes are recommended for actors of all levels who are serious about learning the craft of acting.

"Director Grant McGowen has gotten fine, sharp performances from all his actors, in every play. As an observer of the Atlanta theatre scene for quite awhile now, I must say that I'm excited by what Mr. McGowen and Pinch 'N' Ouch are offering to Atlanta. It appears that more and more of the city's finest actors want to work with him. Live theatre needs a sense of being on the edge, unafraid of new ideas, new plays, new actors. I think Mr. McGowen is the real deal, and I hope he sticks around."
