In this intensive workshop we propose to investigate to what extent actors and actresses are free to make arbitrary and unprejudiced emotional bets, being able to train to expand their “emotional range” or the repertoire of resources to which they have become accustomed.
When an actor/actress is already trained, when he has become an actor, that is when he begins to have to work to stop being one. We will explore acting training dynamics designed to facilitate the appearance of the person, above the actor and his technique, with all his emotional uniqueness. We start from the conviction that, only by risking to make use of that uniqueness, can the actor/actress become truly unique and generate a disturbing and compelling performance. Acting, in this sense, would be much closer to “being” than to “representing.” We will work on emotion from a playful perspective and as the greatest territory of freedom for the performer, separating it from the psychological, the moral and also from the tyranny of the plot. The emotional stakes of the participants in this training will at all times meet two essential conditions: they will be arbitrary and constantly mutate.
To the extent that we experience that actors are free to do anything (as long as it is not just anything) we will understand that one of the greatest attractions of acting is the magic of making the impossible seem easy.
