Terry Knickerbocker
Don’t miss your chance to study with Terry Knickerbocker, world-renowned Meisner teacher and trusted coach to powerhouses like Sam Rockwell, Michelle Williams, Boyd Holbrook, Emmy Rossum, Sacha Baron Cohen, Zac Efron, and more.
​
For the past thirty years in New York City, Terry has coached actors on over 300 films, television and theater projects, both on and off-Broadway and regionally. He even coached Sam Rockwell toward his Oscar-winning performance in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri!
​
Terry is part of the rich lineage of the Meisner acting technique, having trained as an actor and a teacher with William Esper - Sanford Meisner’s protegé - for over 25 years before founding The Terry Knickerbocker Studio in Brooklyn in 2015 as a way to bring quality acting training to a wider, more diverse group of artists. Now, hundreds of actors have come to train in TKS’ world-class conservatory program.

it's time to work with the same acting coach as Oscar Winning Actor Sam Rockwell Emmy Award Nominated actress Natasha Lyonne, and other international heavy hitters like Emmy Rossum, Daniel Craig and John Leguizamo

“They come in with ideas so you don’t start from scratch – you start from them already having put some paint on the canvas. Some of it is really good paint, some of it needs to start all over.” - Terry Knickerbocker


We are proud to bring this special opportunity to Vancouver. In this four-day intensive, Terry will lead an intimate group of actors through a dynamic and on-your-feet four day workshop to make their scene work better.
Explore bold choices, build rich relationships, and activate the full scope of their imagination to build a more authentic inner life.
Students will work hard, play hard, and will rediscover their inner artist.
​
All actors work each day of this workshop. Maximum 12 actors with 6 scenes.
​
Actors enrolled in class will be partnered up in order to select a scene from a play to work on prior to the class beginning. Ideally, this material should stretch the actor and support their ongoing growth. Terry offers a lengthy list of play suggestions in order to help guide you in your scene selection process, and attendees will get access to the JBA Play Finder to help to quickly find great plays to consider.
Terry will approve of these student-selected scenes.
It is required that scene partners will be fully memorized and rehearsed at least a week before the class begins.​
​​​
​​The goal is to come into class with fully lived out ideas and to be ready to work.
