DAVID ALAN MAMET! (Atlantic Theatre Company) Mamet's dialogue is so unique that it has become known as "Mametspeak."
Most recognized of Mamet's style is his sparse, clipped dialogue. Although reminiscent of such playwrights as Harold Pinter and Samuel Beckett, Mamet's dialogue is so unique that it has become known as "Mametspeak." His language is not so much "naturalistic," as it is a
"poetic" impression of streetwise jargon.
In the entertainment field, David Alan Mamet is widely known and respected for his work not only as a Director but also as a Playwright and an Author. He was born in Flossmoor, Illinois on November 30, 1947, and often incorporates overtones of his hometown in his plays. He studied at Goddard College in Vermont and at the Neighborhood Playhouse School of Theater in New York. He has taught at New York University, Goddard College, and the Yale Drama School, and he regularly lectures at the Atlantic Theater Company, of which he is a founding member.
The 52-year-old Pulitzer Prize winner made his name with Sexual Perversity in Chicago (1974), The Duck Variations (1976) and American Buffalo (1977), these dark dramas had strong male characters with highly charged dialogue that built dramatic tension within the confines of the play. He often portrays the plight of small-time drifters, salesmen, and hoods and the con games they play. The Woods (1977) and Edmond (1982) were followed by two successful plays; Glengarry Glen Ross (1984) for which he won his Pulitzer
prize is a damning representation of the American business practices, andSpeed-the-Plow (1988), which gives a savage view of the underside of the film industry. Glengarry Glen Ross was later made into a film version in
1992 using Mamets' own script.
Mamet makes few distinctions between working on the stage and the screen; He believes both involve putting the material on its feet and seeing how it plays. With movies, that's done in the editing room or sometimes on the set. With plays, it's done during rehearsals. In neither case does he see himself handicapped by being both the writer and the director.
SANFORD MEISNER
"Take it from a director: if you get an actor that Sandy Meisner has trained, you've been blessed." - Elia Kazan
A leading acting teacher who trained some of the most famous performers of the stage and screen, Sanford Meisner was a founding member of the Group Theatre. The Group Theatre, a cooperative theater ensemble, became a leading force in the theater world of the 30s. Meisner performed in many of the
group's most memorable productions, including The House of Connelly, Men in white, Awake and Sing, Paradise Lost and Golden Boy. While still a member of the group, Meisner became the head of the acting department of New York's Neighborhood Playhouse School of Theater. After the Group Theatre dissolved
in 1941 Meisner devoted himself to teaching, appearing only occasionally on Broadway and in films (most notably, in Clifford Odets' 1959 The Story on Page One).
Over the course of forty-eight years at the Neighborhood Playhouse, Meisner honed his skills as an acting instructor. Growing out of the days with the Group Theatre and the Russian theater theorist Constantin Stanislavsky,
Meisner created a series of exercises for actors. For Meisner, acting was about reproducing honest emotional human reactions. He felt the actor's job was simply to prepare for an experiment that would take place on stage. The best acting, he believed, was made up of spontaneous responses to the
actor's immediate surroundings. Meisner explained that his approach was designed "to eliminate all intellectuality from the actor's instrument and to make him a spontaneous responder to where he is, what is happening to
him, what is being done to him."
