Sandra SeacatActing Workshop with Sandra Seacat
March 30th to April 17th, 2020 | 15 Days | In Berlin

Sandra Seacat’s main concern when working with an actor is that the actor learn to fully express his or her own uniqueness and truth as a human being, and to break through the patterns and blockages that prevent the artist from living truthfully that part of themself that is the character fully on stage or in front of the camera. Ms. Seacat develops exercises that both reveal the actor to himself and the audience and also give the actor the courage to express who he is and to trust in himself and his talent.

John Osborne Hughes“The 10 Steps to Creating a Character” with John Osborne Hughes
June 22th to 26th, 2020 | 5 Days | In Berlin

Actors, wouldn’t it be wonderful to go to auditions feeling supremely prepared and confident that you have the very best technique, knowledge and freedom to do a great job and create any character? The first part of the job of an actor, analysis of the play, could well be compared to the job of a detective…You arrive at the ‘scene of the crime’ (receive the script) and the search begins to find ‘clues’ to help you to piece together and establish the facts of the ‘case’.
