meisner: "The greatest piece of acting or music or sculpture or what-have-you always has
its roots in the truth of human emotion...What I'm saying is that the truth of ourselves is the root of our acting' Sanford Meisner

'I decided I wanted an exercise for actors where there is no intellectuality. I wanted to eliminate all that 'head' work, to take away all the mental manipulation and get to where the impulses come from...My approach is based on bringing the actor back to his emotional impulses and to acting that is firmly rooted in the instinctive. It is based on the fact that all good acting comes from the heart, as it were, and that there's no mentality to it' Sanford Meisner"
