Acting for Camera workshop - James Larkin
Saturday 23rd March & Sun 24th March @ 10:00 - 17.00
Overview
Do you find auditions terrifying? Are you not getting the bookings from your self tapes? This exciting new course with Director and actor James Larkin will give both emerging talent and established actors an insight into what works on screen, both small and big. This is a unique opportunity to develop your craft and transform your performances for self-tapes, auditions and when employed on set.
For who?
This is an opportunity for both emerging talent and established actors to gain an insight into what works on screen, both small and big. All levels of experience are welcome.
Aim of the workshop
This workshop is to equip and allow you the Actor to bring depth, humanity and watchability into your performance.
It will give you a comfortable sense of relaxation on set when performing – a knowing that ‘you’ve got this’: an inbuilt confidence and ease, allowing you to step out of your own anxious performance thinking, and bask in a boundless pool of free flowing creativity.
Objectives
We can and do overcomplicate the acting process – and in doing so, get bogged down in the intellectual, over analysing thinking mind, instead of tapping our huge inner potential of free flowing imagination. We innocently cover up with technique after technique the natural ability of humans to play. Watch kids. Are they worried about what their hands are doing, or whether they delivered their dialogue correctly, with the right inner intention, or appropriate ‘inner animal’ etc? All the excerises you will learn will free you from these constraints and make screen acting fun!
By the end of the workshop you should be able to:
- Get back to the building blocks of all creativity, the stem cells, the well from which it all emanates: our own innate imagination.
- Tap into this resource that allows you to create a performance that is free, hugely watchable, intriguing and undeniably human.
- Develop and utilies a technique which will give you inbuilt confidence and ease when performing to camera.
What do you need to prepare/wear:
- A short piece of around a minute learnt before the course
- Loose comfortable clothing
