Acting with the Whole Self Workshop
All individuals interested in joining the “Acting With the Whole Self” workshop are required to participate in an e-meeting interview with Laurance Rudic as part of the selection process.
In this workshop, participants will learn to fully immerse themselves in the dramatic experience by cultivating internal awareness of the present moment within their body, senses, emotions, and thoughts. This internal exploration serves as the foundation for authentic character portrayal and self-discovery. Through heightened body awareness, actors will develop a tangible and adaptable communication tool, enabling true and immediate expression in performance.
Part 1 (6 sessions):
- Develop body-centered thinking and awareness through movement exercises.
- Increase sensitivity to thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations.
- Engage with ‘live’ emotions to enhance expressiveness.
- Act out powerful emotional scenes to deepen dramatic range.
Part 2 (6 sessions):
- Further explore body awareness in the context of dramatic scenarios.
- Apply techniques learned to practical acting situations.
- Final performances will be filmed on the last day of the workshop.
Language: Workshop conducted primarily in English, with support in Arabic.
