John Ruskin uses his experience working directly under Sanford Meisner, combined with his 30 year teaching experience to provide authentic Meisner training in a nurturing environment. The result is a two year experience that leaves an actor transformed emotionally and spiritually. An interview is required before enrolling. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6154df761643c850f5d151ee/1635529098800-LBRHD0E82YFFJUTHUIS6/meisner-john_1.jpg Meisner Technique Program - Meisner Technique Our program teaches the acting technique developed by Sanford Meisner. The founder of our school, John Ruskin, was Sanford Meisner’s apprentice for many years and served on the acting faculty at the Neighborhood Playhouse under Meisner. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6154df761643c850f5d151ee/1635450696617-L0IHVINJLWSPAVLAQHJZ/IMG_0495.jpg Meisner Technique Program - Why two years? Meisner technique, when taught correctly, is some of the deepest soul bearing work you can experience. Committing to this journey with the same group of actors allows for greater bravery and growth. That is why Meisner wanted all his students to start and finish the work together- no audits, no dip in and out, this is not a workshop. Read more about the depth of this work in a letter from the school’s founder. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6154df761643c850f5d151ee/1635527979088-3ACXOF0DQPROTNF4886C/_MG_2455.JPG Meisner Technique Program - First Year The first year is about stripping away any inauthentic behavior and shift their focus off themselves and on to their partner. We do this with the Meisner’s foundational exercises; repetition, independent activities, emotional preparation, and scene work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6154df761643c850f5d151ee/1635868074507-3ECIIA1SAOTMFO3DUE89/IMG_6898.jpg Meisner Technique Program - Second Year The second year focuses on training in advanced Meisner technique exercises including relationship work, accent work, and character work which includes physical, verbal, psychological impediments. Actors learn and then apply these techniques to scenes from modern and classical plays. The class culminates in a very special performance of Spoon River Anthologies and a personal monologue. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6154df761643c850f5d151ee/1635540797697-8JD85S2VZBAST6QHJRT4/_MG_9908.jpg Meisner Technique Program - Program Details Prerequisite: Interview with John Ruskin, no previous experience is required New class sessions start every few months In person and online classes are available Class is held twice a week (average 8 classes a month) In person tuition $320 per month Online tuition $295 per month https://www.ruskinschool.com/scene-study-with-master-teachers daily 0.75 2025-06-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6154df761643c850f5d151ee/1635799063955-C8GGSZH8BS2XYKSKWNNT/2844_hopkins_acting08.jpg Scene Study with Master Teachers - Scene Study with Master Teachers Our eight week scene study class is taught by a different guest teacher from the industry each week.

Each student writes, directs and edits their own short film, acts in 2-3 other short films, and crews yet another. From storytelling to pre-production to shooting on location and acting for the camera to post production, every student learns hands on what goes on behind the scenes and in front of the camera. Students lead the way, supported every step by experienced mentors. On the final day of camp, friends and family are invited to watch our films on the big screen. Our goal is to provide the skills, technique and language of filmmaking so as to empower students to go on to create their own projects in the future. It is a whirlwind, a lot of work, and an incredible accomplishment. All levels of experience are welcome. https://www.ruskinschool.com/new-york-acting-classes daily 0.75 2023-02-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6154df761643c850f5d151ee/18931310-1490-4345-8cfb-9d563b847204/IMG_4997.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6154df761643c850f5d151ee/9d6f7bd6-0cb9-4642-9fac-e9ed82f0e45a/Bartlett+Headshot+Retouch+Grey+Shirt.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6154df761643c850f5d151ee/cbd186b5-8499-4dd0-9578-dce1833c41e8/Bartlett+Buschemi.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6154df761643c850f5d151ee/fb91b8cf-5dbb-4f01-ae1e-a656c898360d/IMG_4974.PNG https://www.ruskinschool.com/registration daily 0.75 2024-07-24 https://www.ruskinschool.com/successfully-booked daily 0.75 2024-08-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6154df761643c850f5d151ee/1635801392449-NTY86E0NINM0XCHCM4RM/IMG_2299.jpg Successfully_Booked - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6154df761643c850f5d151ee/1634066945913-2ZW0XTN6HRZI8VF6WP9H/meisner-john.jpg Successfully_Booked - Make it stand out John Ruskin & Sanford Meisner 1983 https://www.ruskinschool.com/privacy-policy daily 0.75 2025-02-24
