I have studied the Meisner Technique at another drama school, how different is BEAT to Meisner?
Beck Emotional Access Technique is derived from the method developed and advanced by Sanford Meisner, widely known as the Meisner Technique. As BEAT practitioners we utilise some exercises from the Meisner Technique, however our foundational approach as well as the philosophy behind BEAT is distinct. At the core of BEAT is the idea that an actor’s emotions can be disengaged from the objects, people, places and circumstances in their world and transported into ‘things’ found in the character’s world. Having previous experience in the Meisner Technique will be useful in understanding BEAT more deeply as you first encounter it. However, in our experience, Meisner Technique students who have trained in the UK, find BEAT very challenging. We welcome you to get in touch in touch with us to discuss your experience so that we can recommend appropriate courses and classes for you. Fay Beck has written about some core differences between BEAT and the Meisner Technique that we suggest newcomers read. For an in-depth understanding of how we do POV repetition differently, read Fay’s article on POV Repetition and watch the videos to appreciate the BEAT philosophy.
