- Introduces and explores the concept of embodied truthfulness, a powerful approach that expands on the Meisner technique using meditation and mindfulness.
- Addresses the challenges unique to actors post-coronavirus and working in the now accelerated numbers of digital auditions, rehearsals, performances, and projects.
- Emphasizes practical exercises in each chapter, deepening the unique power of the Meisner technique by bringing in complimentary mindfulness meditation techniques, something considered by many Meisner experts to be an impossible union.
