The Actor’s Atelier with Paul Hopkins

Curious about acting?

Wondering what the Meisner Technique actually is?

This free introductory class offers a hands-on taste of the Meisner Technique—one of the most influential approaches used by film, television, and theatre actors worldwide.

You’ll experience:

• Presence and listening

• Honest, moment-to-moment responding

• What “acting truthfully” really feels like

This class is designed to welcome new actors, curious beginners, and experienced performers who want to explore the work in a relaxed, supportive environment.

No experience required

🎟 Free / registration required

🤝 Part of a growing Meisner-based acting community in Kitchener-Waterloo

This class also serves as an introduction to our upcoming Meisner Weekend Intensive, coming on Jan 24-25 but stands fully on its own.

Come curious. Try the work. See if it’s for you.
