An Introduction to Human Acting

This course is for anyone who wants to jump straight in and try it out. In a two-day adventure tour, we begin with one of the basic encounters of human existence and of all dramatic scenes, the encounter with gravity, and we finish with dialogues from dramatic world literature. Together we explore how we can synchronise with playing partners, how we can use our voice to express into our partner and what we can do with our hands when we once again don’t know what to do with them. We improvise our way from task to task and slowly, actively and consciously begin to take control of the artistic work. The course comes to an honourable conclusion with a short acting excursion into dramatic world literature, as everyone will play his first dialogue scene at the end.

“I really appreciate the fact that she doesn’t chew things up for us, but introduces us to them and gives us the right push to figure them out for ourselves.”
