What can you expect from the workshop?

Getting to know and practicing the method can make us very precise, it teaches us great discipline and focus. It provides a structure for the body and the voice to become free.

Getting to know our own body

During the training sessions, we get to know our own bodies at first. This is important for three main reasons.

  1. By observing and training our body, it is much easier to learn the concentration necessary for a strong presence.
  2. If we know our body, then it’s easier to connect with our partners, because they have the same
  3. We prepare the work with our voice. The voice comes from the body, there is no powerful voice without bodywork.
Grounding techniques
Imagination exercises

Mikhail Chekhov’s school can be combined real effectively with Grotowski’s practices and techniques. Chekhov’s imagination exercises, implemented into physical tasks, can result in very strong and precise experiences. They help us shape characters precisely, and instruct the participants.

Voice and speech exercises

Imre Montágh, a prominent representative of the clear Hungarian speech, cannot be left out of the line-up either. He didn´t consider himself an ordinary speech and drama teacher, he called himself a game master, and sometimes even an accomplice. We will work as accomplices with breathing, articulation and voice exercises. The cornerstones of stable, well-directed speech are correct breathing, clear articulation and smooth, soft onset of voice.
