Developed by Sanford Meisner, this approach trains actors to live truthfully in
imaginary circumstances — to listen, respond, and behave with total
spontaneity. At TKS, it is the core of everything we teach.

Don’t do anything unless something makes you do it. What you
do doesn’t matter – what matters is that it comes from a genuine
place.”
– SANFORD MEISNER
