About

Meisner Institute Ireland was founded in Dublin in 2023, born out of a desire to create a space where actors of all experience levels could develop their artistic practice in a safe, novel, creative environment. The aim of the institute is simple: to access the individual actor's most free, authentic and expansive self, and to take them on that process in the most direct, simple and effective way possible.

The first and only training programme of its kind in the country, Meisner Institute Ireland offers a fresh, instinct-driven approach to acting technique that is suitable for actors, directors, writers, improv artists and all manner of drama practitioner, providing them with distinct, practicable skills to achieve the greatest ease, freedom and authenticity in their work; all the while deepening their connection with their instincts, their own unique sense of truth as a person and artist, and with the people and material they’ll encounter throughout their careers. The result is acting that is more spontaneous, less cerebral, thrilling to do and watch, and utterly unique and original to the individual actor.
