That makes sense. Someone else down-thread says Meisner isn't something they'd use after the beginner stage. I think, by that point in my career, I'd internalized enough of those lessons in other ways that it was kinda pointless for me. If I were still teaching I might give it a go with a beginner class - though I doubt I could teach it with conviction, so I'd probably call in someone else for a day.

Like I say, I've noticed the same thing you have, so there's clearly something there. I've just never "got it", so it kinda fascinates me.
