Fall Meisner Intensive Jamie Ragusa 01 - Maggie Flanigan Studio

The Fall Meisner Intensive at Maggie Flanigan Studio is a nine-week acting program that teaches actors the first part of the first year of Meisner training. After taking the six-week Meisner intensive this summer, Jamie Ragusa sat down to talk with Katie about what it was like being in the program both as a working actor and a mother. It was good to have that happen last week, and then today, we did the scene again. A similar thing came up, but I let it go. It was at a different part, but it's truthful, and I found what that sensation is. That's what I want to continue to get more of, is that moment where it's so free and open and truthful. Q: What did you learn about yourself over these past six weeks that was a surprise or that changed you? A: That's a good question. I'm comfortable hiding behind the characters I play. Sometimes, it's difficult for me to expose my true self to others and as warm and open and emotionally available- I can be. I thought that was surprising, that I was a bit more vulnerable than I thought I was before. Q: You mentioned you've studio at other studios or taken other classes. How has your experience been different here at Maggie Flanigan Studio? A: Well, more so than the other places. It's just that it's pushing me more. My eyes are just open to, "That's it. That's what I want." Because I started to have those moments and you want to live in that and do it more often. It's a blessing and a curse, if you will because now I want more and I want to keep going and exploring and see where it could lead to next.
