Meisner training in Leeds and online
For actors in the North of England who want to feel freedom and confidence in the depth of their acting craft.
Most actors know what it's like to be 'in their head' while they work: planning the next line, checking whether the last one landed. Meisner training deals with that directly. The Meisner technique teaches you to put your attention on the person in front of you and let what they do change what you do.
It takes time and it takes practice to build the craft of authenticity, which is what we strive for in the lab.
Moment to Moment: Foundations in Meisner
Three modules. Module 1 runs online over eight weeks. Modules 2 and 3 are in person, weekends in Leeds. If you're new to Meisner, or you've done a workshop and want to go further, this is where to begin.

Training with Adam has made up the foundation of my acting practice. Meisner technique has kept me grounded and present and curious in my career, professional jobs and auditions.
Adam creates an inspired, nurturing environment to push yourself, fail spectacularly and improve tenfold.
Adam is a fantastic coach who holds a safe space where you feel free to play but feel held at the same time to be bold and daring.
“Don't do anything unless something happens to make you do it.”
I'm Adam Stadius. I'm Deputy Head of the School of Drama at Leeds Conservatoire and I have been coaching actors ever since I graduated from the Central School of Speech and Drama. My Meisner journey began fifteen years ago when I first trained under Scott Williams at the Impulse Company, and I've followed the technique around the world, working with faculty from The Neighborhood Playhouse and the William Esper Studio.
