Our method is built on physical training, through which the students first learn their neutral posture and the importance of their presence. On this basis they will build characters and later on recreate emotions and intensity.
Then we leave space for vocal improvisation and exploration and finally we approach the text.
We wish to offer each of our students the chance to work both solo and as a member of a group, therefore we work on two levels: the main parts are either split and played by more than one actor or the same actor plays more than one role. The splitting of characters is a stylistic and methodological choice that we adapt to the meaning and the plot of the play, without damaging the dramaturgy.
In the final show all the students are authors of their own character and scene, which they have created during the course. We love the idea of cooperating with students in the building of the show as the inputs from the group become the show’s very foundations.
Meeting the audience is crucial at the end of a theatre course.
It represents a moment of “landing”, a celebration, a ritual: a necessary sharing with the audience, thanks to whom the show is brought to life.
