The Meisner Technique:
Foundations

Be the actor you want to be.

Are you serious about expanding yourself, your craft and your career?

Working professionally but seeking

an easier way?

Early career but committed to feeding 

that fire in your belly?

"Hello, I am Steph and I am invested in helping you enjoy your job, every element of it so your self tapes, auditions, rehearsals and performances are fun. 

 

I want you to know how to go to the extraordinary and return, without getting lost or damaged on the way.

 

I want you to know your worth. To know how to show up with every part of you. 

 

The Foundations of my training uses neuroscience and The Meisner Technique and there are three options of starting that journey. 

 

So, what can you commit to? 

 

A 1 day class in Manchester, Leeds or London?

The 3 day Part 1 Retreat in North Wales?

Or the fully Immersive 12 day Meisner Retreat: An Actor Connects in North Wales?

 

One thing I know: It’s better to start than to not."

Our Meisner Intensive Retreat split into three parts throughout the year with multiple date options to ensure everyone can access high quality, affordable actor training and NLP based mental wellness coaching.

Scholarships Retreats

Our full 12 day Meisner Intensive Retreat which gives you a full introduction to the world famous Meisner Technique combined with neurolinguistic programming based wellness coaching.

At the heart of all Both Feet's actor training is the world renowned Meisner Technique. We believe every actor (no matter what stage of their career) should learn the principles of this incredible technique, whether you've been in the industry for years or are just finding your way.

In our foundation training we'll introduce you to Sanford Meisner's famous exercises (and some of our own) which will guide you out of your head so you can be the present and responsive actor you know you can be and directors want to cast. 

The Foundations will build a common language and trust which will open the door to our generous community and every course we run.

One thing I know: It’s better to start than to not. 


“Ever since the class, I’ve made a bigger effort to breathe. I’m not sure if you’re aware of how big an impact your classes have but just incase, I just want to say, that only ONE day has had such a profound impact on myself and the way I think... it hasn’t just aided me as an actor but also hugely in my personal life and I can only imagine how much more with continuation. So, thank you so much! Honestly. I couldn’t thank you enough.”
