Once again I have let too much time lapse between class and my journal entry. It’s been a busy week…we’re getting closer to opening I Hate Hamlet and between production related tasks, work, and other distractions I am falling behind in other areas. This week was full exercises with an added ingredient: The Nerve. The… Continue reading Meisner Journal 10.24.24
Wow…I’m late writing this entry. Monday was a light class…we actually got out an hour early. We saw 3 exercises. I do have a couple of observations from that class that I want to record, mainly so that I can be aware of them in my own work going forward. First, it is important to… Continue reading Meisner Class Journal 10.18.24
Last night was our first time doing the full exercise. Overall class went really well. I think we all were a little unsure about what we were to do if we were the ones entering the room…we’ve gotten so used to having an action problem that coming in with an objective that had to do… Continue reading Meisner Class Journal 10.8.24
We had both a guest repeater and a substitute teacher last night. Jolene was unable to be there, so Bill Simmons stepped in to teach the class. Jenni White was the guest repeater. One thing that I find really interesting is how different each guest repeater is. It makes sense, but each one has their… Continue reading Meisner Class Journal 10.1.24
Kelly Kel came in and repeated with us last night. I still feel very self-conscious when the guest repeaters start calling out behaviors that I find either don’t match my actual behavior, or are confusing. Immediately puts me in my head. “Am I really doing that? What am I doing that causes them to say… Continue reading Meisner Class Journal 9.24.24
It was a Full Harvest Super Moon last night, and I was feeling it. Or maybe it was the cough syrup I’m taking. Whatever it was, I was not feeling engaged in class last night, so not sure I have much to journal about. One thing I have noticed, and want to get out of… Continue reading Meisner Class Journal 9.17.24
Interesting class last night. Since we had Labor Day off, it usually feels like it takes a minute to ramp up into the repetitions. I was not scheduled to present last night, but some observations that I made were: Next week I work with Paige. I’m looking forward to seeing what we come up with.
I had a good class last night. I was partnered with Sarah, and I ended up doing my IA first. Our circumstances were that we were roommates at the Stanford Behavioral Lab, being evaluated as candidates to be on the first colonization flight to Mars. My trigger was that I was told that she and… Continue reading Meisner Class Journal 8.27.2024
Last night was my first night working with the double action problem. There is a lot to unpack regarding how I think it went, but overall I was pleased with the work I did when I was doing the double action problem. I got tripped up, though, on the Independent Activity. I was partnered with… Continue reading Meisner Class Journal 8.20.24
Last night we had a guest repeater, Becky Larson. I ended up going first, which can sometimes be intimidating when you don’t know the person you are repeating with. Becky is very quick and can pick up on behavior sometimes that you are not aware you are exhibiting, but other times it felt like she… Continue reading Meisner Journal 8.6.24
