Courses

The next one-week intensive foundation course will run from 12 -16 January from 10:00 to 16:00 on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday and until 17:00 on Tuesday and Friday. It will take place at OT301. The course will move at a fast pace and is intended for committed students with some acting training and/or experience. To sign up for either course, please click here.

The cost for the course in January is €415. There is an Early Bird price of €365 if you pay by 25th July. Payment by instalment is available on request. You may also be eligible for a grant that will cover up to 40 percent third of the cost – contact me for details.

The next intermediate course will be from 10th – 14th November. The course costs €365 including btw. You can sign up for it here.

The next advanced course will probably start at the end of January, tbc. We will meet twice a week for three hours over a period of six weeks, possibly with one week off in between. It will take place at OT301. The price for the whole course will be around €1400 including 21% btw. Please contact me if you want to be considered for this course.

A note on attendance: My classes are intended for people who are committed. In my experience, commitment is the single greatest predictor of progress. Whether you have little or considerable experience as an actor, I expect you to attend all classes unless you are sick or there is some other unavoidable situation. If you know you are going to miss classes due to holiday or work in advance, it is not advisable to take the course as missing more than one class is likely to have a significant impact on your progress. If you are taking a course and do miss a class due to illness or other unavoidable reasons, you are welcome to make it up by attending another course’s class, as long as there is another one running in the same period as yours and you ask me first. Current students are always welcome to audit any other classes I have running in the same time period.

In the intermediate class, you will also work with a scene partner who will depend on you to do their side of the work. In addition, in all groups there is an expectation that you will practice outside the class with your fellow actors; in the intermediate group it is required.

Drop-in classes

I am now holding drop-in classes. These are for people who have completed a foundation course with me or done Meisner training elsewhere. The classes run for two hours, usually from 10:30 to 12:30 on rotating weekdays announced a week in advance. There are a maximum of six people in each class and they take place in Overtoom 301. You can choose what to work on, including simple repetition, independent activities, emotional preparation, relationship scenes or text. You will sign up online up until one day in advance and classes from 2026 are €30 payable in cash or tikkie on the day. I will introduce a strippenkaart system once it’s up and running. Please drop me a line if you are interested so I can keep you updated.

Cost: Currently, all Meisner foundation and intermediate courses cost €365 including btw if you pay a few weeks in advance or €415 if you pay later. You can arrange to pay in instalments on request.

Cancellation policy: The deposit is non-refundable unless I cancel the course. If you cancel a course up to one week in advance, you will get a 100% refund on everything except the deposit. If it’s less than a week but more than two days, you will get a 50% refund. After that, you will receive no refund but if I was able to fill your spot, it may be possible to transfer to another course at a later date.

If you have any questions, please get in touch.
