SOPHIA HIRT

MEISNER TEACHER

If you are looking for a knowledgeable and supportive acting coach, I highly recommend Sophia Hirt. She is an incredibly talented actor and teacher, who cares deeply about the craft of acting and about providing a safe and nurturing space for learning. Please visit her website: www.sophiahirtmeisner.com

“I teach with kindness, compassion and utmost respect for each and every human being who walks through my door. It is in this way I both challenge and nurture the actor, while maintaining that they themselves have full autonomy over their process and journey. In Meisners' words ‘All good acting comes from the Heart’ as I believe all good teaching should.” - Sophia Hirt

Formerly Co-Artistic Director at "Rogues West Actors Studio" and Actor for the last 15 years, Sophia Hirt has dedicated her life to this craft.

She is the descendant of two widely known Canadian Actors and Studio Owners. Her knowledge and love of both craft and industry is long standing, in-depth, passionate, and honest. She has had the opportunity to work on some of the most prolific Canadian TV shows, such as "Eva" in Chris Haddocks "The Romeo Section", and as "Nikki" in CTV's gritty cop drama - "Cardinal". 

She has worked alongside some of America's finest actors, such as Jeff Bridges in Sony Pictures "Bad Times at the El Royale", played a supporting lead in the Syfy series "Olympus”, and played the lead in Alberta’s fine indie filmmaker Sandi Sommers' award-winning film"Ice Blue". 

She is a Meisner based actor and has utilized the technique throughout her own professional career. Meisner is both transformative and informative as it allows the actor to dive deeply into their emotional truths, while creating a clear foundation for approaching character. Meisner is Sophia’s wheelhouse, her foundation and her language for acting; whether it be in technique classes or on camera film classes. As an Artist and Teacher, she is passionate about doing the work and passionate about those she teaches.

For those living outside of Vancouver, BC or Paris, France, Sophia offers online classes.
