The Acting 1 and Acting 2 classes are based for the most part on the techniques developed by Sanford Meisner. Here are just a few students’ reactions to the classes and the technique. If you would like to see how it works for yourself, please sign up to audit a class!
“For me Brian’s teaching is a gift. Brian’s great spirit and energy, humanity, sensitivity and caring towards his students. I’ve learned what it is to be truly connected and in the moment. And now I am making choices that are coming from what is meaningful for me and from what I believe – because it is really all that I can bring. I’ve learnt that I need the energy, the drive and the belief in what I am doing. And that that belief can change anything. Brian’s generosity, supportiveness, encouragement and patience allowed me to being able to commit and give my all. What I have learned here has been invaluable and I am forever grateful to Brian.”

“Hi Brian, Your classes had a crucial impact on me. During those one and a half year I have become a better listener, started to enjoy just talking to people and understand them, which is not only the most important skill for an actor and screenwriter but also for a human being. Thanks for everything you are giving us and keep up the great work!”
— Albert Mailyan
“Thanks to Brian’s dedication to assist actors and his excellent teaching techniques, I’ve been able to develop further as an actor. I had the pleasure to learn more acting techniques from an actor who is not only a good teacher but a great actor. Thanks Brian, and I’ll always recommend actors to your training as learning in our craft is very important, especially from a qualified and dedicated actor!”

“About half of year ago, I started Meisner acting classes in a Prague Play House led by Brian Caspe. At first I could not stop myself from trying to compare it with previous experiences that I had, but now I’m ready to admit that it is truly unique method and practice. Truthfulness that we face and connections that we build during the exercises are so brutally real, that it is something I wish for everyone to feel. It really opened my mind a lot and gave me tools to actually be as honest as I am able to be at the moment, which I believe is crucial in any kind of development. All thanks to Brian and this class!”

“Brian Caspe’s Meisner acting class really taught me a lot about myself and how to express it on stage. His way of teaching combines this aspect of self-recognition and the foremost Meisner-technique of connecting with your respective partner in a very comprehensive way. I started late, but I really went on a race to become a professional actor – thanks to Brian. It’s been quite a trip! And I recommend it to anyone who’s willing to give his all to acting.”

“I personally admire the patient teaching, or rather coaching style Brian has and his ability to find the right thing to say to each student, be it a beginner or an experienced one, in order to help them progress in their acting. With his help I improved very fast, he really made it easy. I have watched (seen) my classmates (other students) making remarkable progress in a short time. Brian arranged a workshop in Berlin for us in order to widen our experience, try new things and move forward as actors. Its great to have a teacher who cares about bringing up different perspective to us, involves other teachers and always looks for opportunities to advance his students.
Brian is the best acting teacher I ever had!”
