Working with Actors and Their Techniques:
From Stanislavski to Meisner with Adam Meggido

Testimonials from previous participants:

 

"Adam’s course should be required for all filmmakers who are directing their first shorts or features. It focuses on the one area that tends to be forgotten – amazingly!"

"I learnt a huge amount from this course. As a writer/director currently developing my first feature, it is easy to get caught up in writing the script, getting the financing and all the myriad and one other things that need to be right to get a film made. But what this course reminded me of was the utter importance, however good the script is, of getting the performances on camera. It was the most useful two days I’ve spent in a long time."

"Adam has increased my confidence in working with actors ten-fold, and given me a great insight into approaching script and story from the point of view of the actors and the characters. Indispensible."

"Adam is a hugely talented and inspiring tutor. It is a rare quality to be able to guide people through such a complex craft while sustaining such energy, enthusiasm and encouragement. Adam’s knowledge and passion for working with actors is something directors are desperately in need of learning."

"Without question, this is a completely worthwhile course. I took away two or three clear insights from Adam which were worth the course fee alone. You could lock me in a room with Adam for two weeks and I’d still be learning new things from him by the end of it!"

"This course really supports the other workshops offered by LFS. The series of directing courses provides a really effective training which is not really offered elsewhere. The quality of actors we had to work with was very high too – which makes a big difference."

"Adam explained the techniques very well and was friendly and open to questions at all points. It was a very interesting weekend, and I’ll begin using my new tools immediately."

"The way the weekend was structured enabled the group to become comfortable with each other fairly rapidly, which always assists learning and makes the whole experience more enjoyable."

"The workshop was really useful in showing us what works for actors in terms of effective direction and how to support their craft. By looking in-depth at a few basic principles we came away with clear lessons that we can start using right away."
