Methodical Practice: The Art of Acting

  • To stimulate a process of self-revelation, going back as far as the subconscious, yet canalizing this stimulus in order to obtain the required reaction.
  • To be able to articulate this process, discipline it and convert it into signs. In concrete terms, this means to construct a score whose notes are tiny elements of contact, reactions to the stimuli of the outside world: what we call "give and take."
  • To eliminate from the creative process the resistances and obstacles caused by one's own organism, both physical and psychic (the two forming a whole), Toward a Poor Theatre. Jerzy Grotowski

..."There is a point at which one discovers that it is possible to reduce oneself to the man, to the man as he is, not to his mask, not to his role, not to her game, not to her dodging around, not to her image of herself, not to his clothing - only to him. And further: this reduction to the human-being is possible only in relation to a being other than I." Grotowski, 1975

Courses

 

A. Creating Working Conditions for Physical & Vocal Training

 
 

B. "Give and Take" / The Partner - Working on Texts & Songs

Contact through conversation. Speaking overcomes the fear of speaking. Speaking from and of oneself, There is no conversation without a listerner and one who speaks. The roles interchange and the "give and take" dynamic is established. Matters of grammar, vocabulary, usage are corrected and developed from within the working dialogue. Specific needs are addressed on a case to case basis. Meetings are held in private studio or the outdoors by agreement with Mr. Rose.

  
 

C. Engaged with Conviction - Toward Performance

A course primarily for performers and business managers although non-performers are welcome. How does the performer after working to prepare a text then practice that text through physical work as a means to train the body and awake and strengthen one's resources: stamina, imagination, rhythmn, breathing, pacing. Special Projects are invited as course material. Participants should be prepared for physical training, movement improvisation. Appropriate clothing required. Practice takes place in Berlin Acting Studio.
