Advanced Acting Training in Tokyo

This class is reserved for students who have completed both Introduction to the Meisner Technique and the Building a Character classes.

If you have studied the Meisner Technique elsewhere and believe you have the required experience, please feel free to contact me.

A Continuous Training Program

This advanced training is structured as an ongoing, year-round program, divided into several terms.

It builds on the tools developed in the Meisner and Character classes, allowing you to deepen your exploration of the acting craft over time.

Training Focus

Through intensive scene work, you will dive into a variety of characters, exploring their needs, flaws, and physicality.

You will also learn how to approach a scene independently from the full script, while still creating a strong and meaningful emotional arc for your character.

This process will help you expand and refine the seven key qualities of your instrument: 

Instinct . Physicality . Intelligence . Imagination . Personal Experience . Sensory Awareness . Empathy.

On-Camera Work

During the final sessions of each term, selected scenes will be filmed.

You will receive professionally edited footage of your work, designed primarily as a tool for review, analysis, and growth.
While you are free to use these videos as you wish, please note that they may not always be suitable as professional showreel material.
