GET SEXY!

Recommended if: Your teacher says you aren't embracing your sexuality in your acting.

Activity: Get a picture of yourself and masturbate to it. Ideally the picture should be high res. If you can't get and maintain an erection your sibling might die.

Tip: What better way to prove to your teacher that you can find the sexuality in yourself than willingly masturbate to a high-res picture of yourself in front of him/her. Remember that the best way to do this is really focus... let your scene partner be the weird one... if you're acting you're not the weird one... you're the student.

Interestingly enough I actually think some teachers would think this is the perfect Meisner activity.

GET FRUSTRATED!

Recommended if: You are criticized for not being frustrated enough on stage. Because that always happenes.

Activity: Don't come to class with a Meisner activity. In front of everyone try to come up with the meisner activity that you could do that your teacher won't criticize. Make a pro and con list of every idea you have. If you can't find a good Meisner activity your brother might die.

Tip: It's especially good if you break the fourth wall on this one... if you can't figure out one (and you won't) just stare at your teacher and declare him the murderer of your sibling. Also, by this point you will have done so many Meisner activities that your psyche will be fucked in general... that's what happens when every other day you have to pretend a loved one might die.

GET SAD!

Recommended if: Your teacher has told you to get sadder in your acting.

Activity: Cut 70 fresh onions under yours eyes while watching the end of the movie Titanic and listening to the end of the audio book Of Mice and Men. If you can't do all of these at once and successfully mince the onions your sister will die because like a fairy with clapping the only thing that will cure her is copious amounts of minced onions delivered to her by you doing an impression of Lenny singing My Heart Will Go On.

Tip: Sure doing these things will make you cry, but that's beside the point... crying isn't acting. Just use the crying as a stepping off point to truly get into Rose/George's head and remember the consequences of your sister's rare disease.

GET ANGRY!

Recommended if: Your teacher has told you that you aren't getting angry enough in your acting.

Activity: Repeatedly punch yourself in the face. If you don't keep punching yourself in the face your brother might die because he's contracted a disease that means you have to continually punch yourself in the face. And you have contracted a disease that makes your right hand hate your face. So punch! PUNCH PUNCH PUNCH! GET ANGRIER AT YOUR RIGHT HAND! PUNCH PUNCH PUNCH!

But remember to keep repeating what your scene partner is saying.

Tip: This one only works if you punch yourself in the face with extreme commitment. You have to believe that you have a right hand disease. Other wise you might just get insanely angry. I recommend watching the hit movie Idol Hands with Seth Greene before hand. For inspiration.
