Bequia Information

STUDY ACTING IN THE CARIBBEAN

The Caribbean island of Bequia is the original home of The Sanford Meisner Center. Sandy began summer intensive trainings at his home in Bequia in 1983. For nearly a decade, Sandy hand selected a group of students to study with him in a one-month, passionate and inspiring intensive program there on the island.

 

This summer, The Sanford Meisner Center returns to its original training grounds for two levels of intensives‚ Professional 1 and a Master Class.

 

This is guaranteed to be a life-changing experience. You will be transformed and grow tremendously as an artist by having the opportunity to remove yourself from the rest of the world and focus completely on your craft.

 

You owe it to yourself and your career!
