INTERVENOR

OCTAVE KARALIEVITCH

After studying science (mathematics and physics in preparatory classes, then philosophy of science and knowledge), Octave turned to psychology and cognitive science, and became interested in research in 3 areas in particular: creativity, education and therapy.

Interested in the processes of personal development and liberation, he also trained in contemporary tools of “brief therapies” and coaching such as NLP orEricksonian Hypnosis, of which he is a certified Master Practitioner by the Society of NLP.

After training as an actor, he discovered many Russian and American techniques (among others : Constantin STANISLAVSKI, Stella ADLER, Sanford MEISNER, Lee STRASBERG, Eric MORRIS…) and it is the Meisner technique which particularly attracts his attention, beyond the unexpected sincerity that it confers to the actor, by its healthy, playful and simple side.

Noticing from the start the links with his previous fields of study, he also realizes the variety of his approaches in the world. He then created the Paris Meisner Studio to bring qualified teachers to Paris, in order to continue training in the right way while exploring complementary aspects of this technique, its history and evolution.

In his quest to perfect the understanding of the Meisner technique for himself and other students, he has established a novel system of research and development of which the Meisner & Systemic Coaching program is the result.

In parallel to his teaching and directing activities, Octave continues to train in various related fields to enrich this research, having begun, among others, a 5-year Gestalt therapy curriculum atEPG, a certified trainer training and a training in Brad Blanton ‘s Radical Honesty tools (derived from Gestalt therapy and Ericksonian hypnosis, and aligned with the development of the Meisner technique’s viewpoint work).

As well as traditional meditation techniques and Buddhist systems of mind-body connection, especially Vipassana.

DETAILS & LEVELS

The educational foundations of our Meisner program

🔍 Très différemment enseignée et comprise de par le monde, la technique Meisner est héritière d’une longue histoire de recherche et d’enseignement de l’acting dont les sources sont souvent méconnues.

📚 Nous retraçons ici ses origines, ses développements et sa postérité :

This last link corresponds to the general program of this course.

Levels

The next courses displayed here correspond by default to LEVEL 1.

Re-enrollment for subsequent levels is done internally at the end of each term.

The “classic” Meisner program, traditionally in 2 years, is largely covered here by the first 3 terms: level 1, 2 and 3.

The “second year”, corresponding to levels 5, 6 and 7, concerns the advanced work of applying technique to the conditions of filming and directing, already covered in the first year.

It also introduces the basics of career coaching, production, and writing, in conjunction with the rest of the program.

REGISTRATION FEES

Registration for this course is done on a quarterly basis, on the site for level 1, then renewable on a priority basis for those registered for the current quarter for the following levels, before opening up to former students who wish to resume work.

Payment can be made in monthly instalments, at €287 per month for 3 months, all-inclusive (see INCLUSIONS at the top of the page).

The packages listed under “Optional (after registration)” will be offered at a later date.
