                                                            "Acting is =

About the technique

The Meisner technique teaches one to: be in the moment, get out of your =
head, use your imagination, break down your walls, get to your truth, =
explore your inner craft, have fun and play in the moment, listen, =
connect, and much more.
This class will transform you as a person and an actor!

About the teacher -
Christy English - Butchers is a Los Angeles actress/director who studied =
with Sanford Meisner for many years in LA and went to the island of =
Bequia for a month with Sandy. Christy had the privilege to teach the =
technique in Los Angeles. She is now teaching in San Jose, Oakland and =
San Francisco. Christy moved to the Bay area to direct full time. She =

teenagers and their struggles. She is very knowledgeable about the =

Quotes-

On Directing-

"Working with Christy was one of the most memorable times of my life. =
She has a great understanding of how to communicate with actors, =
combined with a gentleness & true knowledge of the craft."=20
             -- Ray Hale -Actor, Los Angeles / "Skin", "24", Strong =
Medicine"

On Teaching

"Coming from New York City to the San Francisco Bay Area, I had a =
prejudice that any acting class I took here would be a Mickey Mouse kind =
of class.  I was wrong.  Christy oversees her students with such =
authority and serene confidence that slacking off just isn't in the =
picture.  From the first second of my first class I was immediately =
challenged and emotionally engaged.  Christy's firm understanding and =
application of Meisner's technique made those well-known phrases like =
"be in the moment," "be truthful," and "commit" become consistently =
alive and tangible, rather than sporadic, evasive episodes.  You travel =
a lifetime in two and a half hours.  You've just got to be there to know =
what that feels like."  =20
