 Viewpoints of the Mind.
 
In this workshop you enhance your understanding of using space during acting, the meaning attached to it, and how you can use it to empower your message.
Apart from that you will be challenged to add multiple layers in your realistic acting. Through our own created method, you will get all the tools you need. It is guaranteed that after this workshop you are able to use these tools, both in improvisation as well as scripted scenes.
 
It will be an active workshop, with a theoretical foundation. As a participant you will be able to act yourself, testing the method and making it your own. Besides that, you also become an observant, an active audience, seeing the other participants using the method. Here you learn how to reflect and analyze in order to help them and yourself forward.
 
The workshop is challenging for actors of all levels of skill; our created method allows you to apply it conform your own abilities in acting. First half will be practicing and understanding the method, whereas the second half will be filled with presentations; feedback on the spot, and trying again.
