Abgesagt: Acting for Dancers

Anna Tenta

“Acting is behaving truthfully under imaginary circumstances.” (Sandford Meisner)

This workshop experience is for you, if you seek to explore and dive into the world of acting and close the gap between movement and language. In Acting for Dancers, participants will playfully unleash their full potential as a performer by getting an understanding of their individual charisma and presence.

Please note: You can attend one, two or three workshop days, but only consecutively:

  • One day = Friday
  • Two days = Friday & Saturday
  • Three days = Friday, Saturday & Sunday

Registration deadline: September 27, 12:00.

There will be a strong emphasis on improvisation, character studies, and voice work, so you will get to meet the actor that is already dormant within you. You will learn how to consciously use your own imagination, intimacy, creativity and physicality to build an authentic character and connect to the persona you are embodying. You will get to know different acting approaches and create a toolbox that individually works for YOU and your needs as a dancer and performer. Towards the end of the workshop we will joyfully explore and stretch your performing abilities trough guided scene work (monologues, dialogues and group scenes) from movies & plays of different genres, so you’ll learn how to be fully present, remain natural, listen and react rather than act in a given setting.
