The craft of acting can’t be learned intellectually. It has to be learned experientially.

You can read a book about how to swim, but eventually you have to get in the water.

The Meisner Technique is an experiential, step-by-step process that builds your craft brick by brick. It’s practical. It gives you a foundation to work from and develops the confidence, quality and consistency that come from having a technique you can rely on.

Good training can save you years of searching, and a lot of time and money along the way.

If you want to build a craft that lasts, come and train in the Meisner Technique.

Now taking applications for the Evening Program commencing 6 October.

Good acting begins with really doing.

Sanford Meisner called it the reality of doing. It’s one of the foundational principles of the work we explore here.

JL Studio is one of the few places for actor training in Australia offering a specific, practical and proven step-by-step approach to the craft of acting.

Come and experience the difference.

Confidence, quality and consistency don’t happen by accident. They come from having a foundation. And that foundation comes from technique.

The Meisner Technique offers what many acting classes can’t: a fundamental, progressive system for training the actor.

Come and train.

Nighttime Program commences 6 October.
Now taking applications.

What an incredible weekend! 🎭✨

Last weekend, we had the privilege of welcoming Justin Lehmann to Perth for two days of Meisner Technique training.

It was raw, challenging, playful, moving and incredibly inspiring but rather than me tell you about it, I’ll let the actors who were in the room tell you themselves 🤗

Their feedback speaks volumes.

Justin is, without question, one of Australia’s leading Meisner Technique teachers, and we are incredibly grateful for the generosity, knowledge and experience he shared with us 🙏

Thank you to every actor who showed up with such openness, courage and willingness to be vulnerable in the pursuit of truth and connection.

There is so much more to explore, and the overwhelming response has been…

When can we do it again? 🎬

Thank you, Justin, for an unforgettable weekend.

Connection over perfection. Always ✨

Such a joy to share the space with actors who placed their need to grow above their need to get something right. Actors hungry for real instruction in the Meisner Technique, willing to take risks and see where those moments would take them.

Laughter, tears, breakthroughs. We had it all.

Leaving was bittersweet. I wish I could have stayed a little longer… maybe next time.

Thanks, Michelle Tachbrook Talent | Talent Agent WA for making it happen. ✨

“I learnt more in 12 classes than I did in a year of training.”

This is what one student told me at the end of the program.

It’s a sentiment I hear a lot.

There are plenty of classes that explore acting, but very few places that fundamentally train the actor.

If you’re tired of going around in circles with your acting, if your work feels hit and miss, if you’re struggling to come alive in your work, or if you want your work to become more personal, come and experience the Meisner Technique.

“I don’t understand people who are actors who don’t love sports. I think it’s the same thing. What it takes to be a great athlete is the same thing that it takes to be a great actor. That kind of concentration, that kind of privacy in public, that kind of unselfconscious experience are very similar. And that kind of pressure of people watching, and finding privacy in front of all that stuff.”
-Phillip Seymour Hoffman
