Meisner is an acting method with the focus of staying in the moment and responding to present circumstances. By applying the basics of Meisner, authors can resolve or worsen the conflict, build deep characters, and avoid plot holes while staying dynamic, present, and responsive in their manuscript. While I usually don't usually write up workshops, I have to gush about the titular workshop with Ian Kirkpatrick at Imaginarium 2021.
