There are so many ways of approaching a role, all of them with major pluses. In this first Meisner-based session, actor Christopher Sommers and London’s leading Meisner technique teacher and Artistic Director of The Impulse Company in the UK, Scott Williams, will discuss some of your options as you prepare for the part, and will use examples from their work to help you decide what might be best for you. There will be time for questions from the audience.
