About Javier

I teach professional Theatre, film and TV Actors from all over the world in my Conservatory in Barcelona, Spain and through my workshops around the U.S, Latin America and Europe.

I am often traveling for work and this is a new service I am trying out. If I don't respond to your request, please don't take it personally, it probably means I am not avaialble at the time.

I enjoy working with Actors of all backgrounds with differnet levels of experience who are serious about learning the craft of acting. I am not someone who will "make your carreer happen" and I am not going to make any such promises. Your carreer is up to you, I LOVE the Arts and I am here to guide anyone with hunger and curiosity grow in this beautiful process.

Teaching acting came as a surprise to me. After graduating from Rachael Adler's Meisner technique program, I was really grateful for how the technique helped me change so much about my life and I wanted to be able to share the same treasure with the rest of the world.

I began training as a teacher with Rachael, who in turn was trained by Saford Meisner himself, and started teaching as soon as I graduated. 

I must confess I was surprised by the reception and success of my classes. In time, I wrote my own thesis on the work and designed my own Meisner Technique Program that continues to attract actors from all over the world.



I studied at A.C.T San Francisco (American Conservatory Theatre) and with Rachael Adler from Neighborhood Playhouse School NY. 

I have been teaching for fifteen years and I am the founder and artisitic director of Meisner BCN, a Meisner Technique-based Program that has been forming actors from all over the world since 2007.

I work with students of all levels. From people who've always wanted to give acting a try but never had the time, money or guts to take the leap to professional award winning actors who have been working for a long time in either Theatre, film or television.

Due to the nature of the work I do, I usually don't accept actors who are under 20 years of age. I do have a program for young adults but I only teach actors under 20 in group settings.



Although my workshops are geared towards professional actors, I enjoy working with Artists. In other words, humans hungry with curiosity and eager to discover and experience everything they are. 



Know what it is you need. Why do you NEED to be an Actor? NOT what do you think is going to happen, or why you want to be a recognized Artist. 

The way in which I teach Acting is not about "making believe" but about reaching those places within the actor where the life of the character is allowed to come forth. It is not a comfortable process but it is most definitely a beautiful and exciting adventure.

Having said so, I have a big issue with teachers who believe that becoming an Artist should be painful. There is a certain amount of emotional pain that goes with simply being alive and growing, but becoming an Artist should never be "the cover" for any kind of abusive behavior. 



I am fond of LIFE. I adore guiding Artists in the discovery of their hunger and curiosity. As Auntie Mame says, "Life is a banquet and most poor suckers starve to death.". That line form the fun play by Patrick Dennis, has very much become my motto.



A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
You should always ask a teacher why is it hard to work with them? 

This is a pilgrimage not a vacation. Since it's not about "being comfortable", at least know what kind of discomfort can you expect so that you can make an educated decision as to whether or not you feel you are ready and willing to take the leap.

Details

Pricing is very much on an individual basis as I believe that education in the Arts should be available to everyone. My hourly rate is a sliding scale between $50 - $120 an hour. But those who can't afford these prices should not be discouraged to work with me. We can always find alternatives and create small groups where the hourly fee is shared with others.

Groups are anyway my prefered way of working with Artists as it allows us to understand the importance of building community.
