‘Acting is the actor’s ability to live in complete truth, within the imaginary circumstances proposed by the author’, says Sanford Meisner.
The work and the relationship between the director and the actor are of paramount importance in the making of a film. The actor is a key element in the invention of a film, and not just someone who puts himself in his marks and says the text ‘with conviction and feeling’ – as the director would hear it in his head…
There is a language, a way of communicating that helps actors, that excites them and makes them want to play outside the box.
Acquiring it is the aim of this course for directors, alternating between a presentation of the tools and putting them into practice in the form of exercises or scenes, under the guidance of Pico Berkowitch.
