Available spots
Service Description
This workshop merges experimental and established acting methods, offering a transformative approach to performance. By integrating the principles of Artaud, Grotowski, and Meisner, actors will explore new ways of inhabiting a role with depth and immediacy. What You'll Learn: Archetypal & Deep-Image Work – Unlocking symbolic and subconscious layers of performance. Embodied Scene Analysis – Identifying a scene’s axis to ground and heighten presence. Physical & Vocal Synergy – Applying movement, breath, and energy to enhance expression. Intersections of Artaud, Grotowski & Meisner – Fusing disciplines for a fully immersive performance experience. By engaging with these techniques, actors refine their instincts, break habitual patterns, and learn to exist fully within the performance environment. Who is this for? This workshop is especially valuable for those who want to step away from intellectualized or psychological approaches and inhabit performances through lived physicality, emotional resonance, and spatial awareness. Whether you work in scripted scenes, devised work, or interdisciplinary performance, these tools unearth and embody identity in ways that are both personal and transformational.
