Summer Intensive Training For Adult Actors
June 16th-July 31st
Spark your desire to study authentic acting for adults (18 years of age and over) with our Summer Intensive in Meisner Technique, Movement, and Voice & Speech. This summer acting program will help actors of all levels grow and connect with the actor they have always longed to become. Over the course of six weeks, Summer Intensive acting students will begin to develop core acting skills rooted in the Meisner Technique, Sanford Meisner‘s traditional sequence of improvisational exercises and basic scene work.
Summer Intensive students begin by learning how to listen deeply, respond truthfully, and express authentic emotional life under rich imaginary circumstances.

Goals of our Summer Intensive
At Terry Knickerbocker Studio, we will teach you how to get out of your head, tap into your emotions, and follow your instincts through the Meisner acting technique. During our six-week-long intensive, you will learn to access a range of emotions, discover how to develop a rich connection to imaginary circumstances and scene work, and explore yourself as an acting instrument.
Studying with Terry has helped actors across TV, film, and the stage find success and discover their own personal creativity, due to his expertise and emphasis on the importance of excellence and mastery of Sanford Meisner’s teachings.
Students should focus on answering the following questions during the intensive:
- Am I mindfully present in rehearsal?
- How are the actors acting around me in this scene?
- Do I care too much about what others think of my performance?
- Am I holding back when I should be more spontaneous?
- Am I forcing this emotion or am I acting in the moment?
