From one acting technique to...the same acting technique

My acting classes are getting redundant. We focus on nothing but Sanford Meisner's way of teaching.

Now, I'll give him this: it is effective. HOWEVER: it is also not the only technique out there. I want to learn a different technique to acheiving what I'm looking to feel. I want to know that this is not the only method to getting to that emotional gold spot. It does work, yes, but it's really difficult to come out of (for me personally).

I guess I understand that I should at least try to master the technique, but wouldn't it also be effective to attempt different techniques to find the one that fits me the best? I suppose I really don't know. In any event, I hadn't posted for a few days and I'm just trying to procrastinate the inevitable: homework.

What is it you may ask? Read chapters 3 through 10 in Uta Hagen's Respect for Acting, and memorize a two minute scene...all by tomorrow. I have other things that arent' releated to acting as well, but I don't really have to do those until Monday.

*sigh* I suppose I should get to work on filling my brain with potentially irrelevant things...

Happy first day of the awkward month!
