Workshops

 


PEM Studios Melbourne is very proud to collaborate with Acting Mastery this April and present our new 3 day Masterclass in SYDNEY!

Presenting THE ART OF EMOTIONAL MASTERY: A Physical Approach to Acting

DAY 1 & 2
Over the first 2 days, actors will unlock the body’s unique physiological language of emotions using the body’s neuro-energetic movement systems. Actors will learn how to access 6 basic emotions and their corresponding exercises, allowing you to explore their function, energetic-motion, and a wide range of intensity and levels of emotional expression.
Gain mastery over your craft by clarifying your instrument and learn to access core emotions easily, safely, immediately, and repeatedly. 

DAY 3
Advance your skills in accessing and using emotions physiologically, allowing for greater emotional depth, dynamics, and flexibility. Today, we will begin to mix and combine emotions as we dive into the next level of acting. You’ll become more attuned to your energy and physiology, enabling you to gain artistic control over your instrument and learn how to access the fine and subtle processes necessary for camera work and powerful, raw communication on stage.

Additionally, you’ll learn how to energetically connect with your scene partner, facilitating deeper emotional communication and learning to listen through the body. Train to reliably ‘get out of your head‘ and back into your body, enhancing your presence and control over your craft. Training in embodiment, presence, and fine impulse work are all integral parts of this transformative day, leading to extraordinary depth and authenticity in your performances. You will gain comprehensive experience of the principles of acting throughout the day, setting the foundation for future voice, character, and scene work—all from a completely physical approach
