ACTING
The screen and theatre acting courses start with the working methods of the legendary acting teachers such as: Konstantin Stanislavskij, Michael Chechov, Lee Strasberg, Stella Adler, Sanford Meisner, Uta Hagen, David Mamet and arrive at today’s great masters such as Ivana Chubbuck, Susanne Batson, Dominque De Fazio, etc.
After all these methods and techniques of the great masters, the most important thing is that the DomasArt School and Master Raman Turhan will guide the students on a journey that goes beyond techniques and methods, toward a deeper path: where the actor finally discovers themselves as free, alive, and authentic.
Below there is a list of methods and work techniques that will be addressed, and their most known aspects briefly described:
Stanislavskij:
Naturalistic acting, realism.
Greater understanding of life processes.
Lee Strasberg:
Research and study of emotional memory.
Stella Adler:
Imagination beyond the emotional appeal, “drawing on the emotions that I have experienced.”
Meisner:
“Live truthfully under certain imaginary circumstances”.
And his famous exercise in repetition of one facing another.
Michael Chekhov:
A psycho-physical approach to acting, focusing on mind, body, and an awareness of the senses.
Practical Aesthetics:
Analysis of the scene in four phases; the actors are required to focus on what is literally happening in the scene and what is needed from the other characters.
Uta Hagen:
Realism and truth above all else; “Replacement” (or “transfer”) encourages the actors to substitute their own experiences and emotional memories for the specific circumstances of a scene.
Ivana Chubbuck:
Twelve steps to follow so as to get into character and make it alive. Understand what the goal that the character wants and needs to obtain is, and the need to reach that goal that guides the actions of the character.
Susan Batson:
Show the actors how to prepare and which keys to use to create the life of a character, fully human, of extraordinary expressive greatness and in the name of the watchword “truth”.
Dominique De Fazio:
Teaching and giving the actor the necessary tools to become a “creative actor” while maintaining “authenticity” as a reference so that the artist can create original characters and scenes, thus breaking away from the usual patterns and methods.’
