Join us in the historical center of beautiful Haarlem, The Netherlands!
Description
Our workshop teaches film actors and directors to work together creatively. We use different techniques inspired by film and theater, combining creativity, openness and a thorough preparation of scenes. The participants discover how filmmakers and actors can collaborate to create an environment that feeds spontaneity. The activities during this workshop are mostly practical and physical.
“Acting and directing are inseparable. That’s why we bring filmmakers and actors together and use ‘working through the body’ as a starting point to achieve credible acting infused by inspiring directions. Emotions and spontaneity can’t be planned, but your body – posture, voice and gestures – is strongly connected to your emotional experiences, and linked with behavior of an actor when in front of the lens (or audience). During our classes we use a lot of physical exercises, ‘theater games’, tasks that focus cooperation and acting principles. Participants will learn how to deal with stress on the film set and may switch more easily from one imaginary situation to another. Above all, we want to provide an inspirational environment in which errors do not exist.”
