TEACHERS
Practical sessions are designed to enhance the skills of an actor within and beyond the text-based acting incorporating physical aspects of the acting.
Training is based on Ostrenko Brothers method, internationally renowned method of performers' and directors' preparation for professional performance creation.
Participants will practically:
research the connection and disconnection between physical action and voice, gesture, words, and movement;
explore the performer's physicality as the key to form, style, atmosphere, and emotional palette;
learn to build up the scene composition through playful interaction and improvisation;
gain helpful effective tools and valuable tips for mounting characters, images, fragments of performances and whole performances, stepping beyond the limits of text-based acting.
Students will deeply investigate Meyerhold's "Biomechanics", M.Chekhov's "Psychological Gesture" and Stanislavsky's "Physical Action", with experienced professional practitioners, experts in performing arts pedagogy, directing and practice in multicultural groups and multidisciplinary projects - Ostrenko Brothers.
The workshop is open to performers interested to expand and diversify their professional vocabulary, to instructors who work with actors and performing arts practitioners interested to improve their understanding of practical and theoretical aspects of performance making in a modern context.
PROGRAM
The international program aims at actors, dancers, performers from all over the world interested in mastering their acting, directing, performance making and movement skills.
