This is the first step into the EAST Acting Studio.
In Foundations I, we begin at the core of truthful acting: listening. Through structured partner exercises rooted in Meisner-based training, students learn to respond instinctively rather than manufacture emotion.

The work is simple. And it is profound.

In this course, we practice:
• The Repetition Exercise
 • Responding truthfully in the moment
 • Building trust with a scene partner
 • Quieting self-consciousness
 • Strengthening emotional availability

There is no pressure to be impressive.
 There is no performance required.

This is a space to build presence — to experience how much more alive storytelling becomes when you stop trying and start responding.
