“I had the great fortune to be introduced to the Meisner technique by a wonderful teacher, Terry Knickerbocker. Through his guidance, he activated a confidence and curiosity around the craft of acting that I had never truly felt. Those early days of study are in some ways the most memorable because of the discoveries that are made. Terry tugged us, challenged us, and never doubted the capacity of each student to grab hold of the technique. He induced in me a love for the craft that was clearly his own.”
