Date and time: 22 to 28 April 2024
Duration: 42 hours, over 7 days
When it comes to the art of acting on camera, it's not solely about what happens within the actor that matters; it's also about how it is conveyed to the audience and the degree of purpose, specificity, and creative freedom involved. The understanding of camera as a medium, of its intimate and technical dynamics, is what distinguishes a compelling performance from a forgettable one.

Description
The workshop prepares actors to actualize the director’s vision by providing them with efficient and pragmatic acting techniques, along with an understanding of camera’s dynamics, language, and requirements. At the same time, nous assistons les réalisateurs in gaining deeper insights into the actor’s point of view, enabling more effective communication and the attainment of the desired performance.
