Houde School of Acting Summit Instructor Highlight: Jessica Houde-Morris It all started with her. Jessica Houde-Morris is the driving force behind everything we do at the Houde School of Acting. A second-generation Meisner teacher trained at the legendary Playhouse West in Los Angeles, Jessica studied and taught alongside Robert Carnegie, who was trained directly by Sanford Meisner himself. She’s one of the rare few people still carrying that original torch, and doing it with a deep commitment to the technique and to her students. Oh, and speaking of? Her students are WORKING! On major shows (Will Trent, Atlanta, Haunting of Hill House), big-budget films (Black Widow, The Holdovers), and national commercials. But most importantly, they are the heart of an amazing community (and many say it is unlike anything they’ve ever experienced). At this year’s Houde Summit, Jessica will lead a special workshop that brings you into the foundation of her teaching: the Meisner Technique. You’ll work at the current stage you are at, and you’ll get to watch the technique unfold across every level. You will be learning all about listening, building behavior, and discovering what happens when you start responding truthfully under imaginary circumstances. Whether this is your first introduction to Jessica, or you’ve trained with her for years, this workshop is a chance to reconnect with what makes great acting: truth, spontaneity, and the courage to be affected and changed by your partner.
