HBDA 5005 - Introducing to acting

This workshop will explore the question of our relationship to ourselves and to the others.

This introduction to acting aims to encourage the student to be in touch with what he feels in the moment. Without judgment, through a framework of play, sharing and trust, the student will be able to play with himself (his body and emotions) and will be led to interact with his partners. He will thus be able to discover different sensibilities of his personality and put them at his service to offer them to others through film or theatre scenes. With this in mind, the students will be led to discover what acting implies, through a practice oriented towards plays that can influence our relationship in the society.

References like movies, plays, music will be encouraged during the workshop. And if « going to the cinema or a play or a concert » allowed to understand the world around you.
