Responses to creating trainings for LGBTQ + and other marginalized student groups tend either toward rejecting acting ‘methods’ as unfit for purpose, or to simply changing pronouns in these trainings and carrying on as before. This article works through an encounter with heteronormative gender ideology in the Meisner technique. It looks at the way the training and the trainer support the normative and shut down the ability for students to act on the Meisner instruction to ‘bring the actor back to his emotional impulses and to acting firmly rooted in the instinctive’. It considers a repositioning of the Meisner repetition exercise as an example and experience of Halberstam (2005) and McCallam and Tuhkanen’s (2011) formulations of ‘Queer Time’ in order to problematize the role of the trainer as ‘guru’ or ‘charismatic teacher’ and normative ‘time keeper’ and thereby to create training in which students are free not to follow hegemonic cultural behaviour patterns. We posit that this ‘queer Meisner time’ might be used in order to foster atmospheres in which students who do not conform to gender and sexual norms might not encounter these restrictive hegemonies.

如果你想吻她，就吻她吧！现代迈斯纳训练中的性别和酷儿时间

对为 LGBTQ + 和其他边缘化学生群体创建培训的回应倾向于拒绝将行为“方法”视为不适合目的，或者只是简单地改变这些培训中的代词并像以前一样继续。本文通过与迈斯纳技术中的异性恋性别意识形态的相遇来进行工作。它着眼于培训和培训师支持规范的方式，并关闭了学生按照迈斯纳指令行事的能力，以“将演员带回他的情感冲动，并牢牢植根于本能”。它考虑了对迈斯纳重复练习的重新定位作为 Halberstam (2005) 以及 McCallam 和 Tuhkanen (2011) 的“酷儿时间”公式的示例和经验，以便将培训师作为“大师”或“魅力老师”的角色问题化和规范的“计时员”，从而创建培训，让学生可以自由地不遵循霸权文化行为模式。我们假设这种“奇怪的迈斯纳时间”可能被用来营造一种氛围，在这种氛围中，不符合性别和性规范的学生可能不会遇到这些限制性霸权。
