Open House Ireland: April 2019

Booking a 20 minute session will give you an exciting opportunity to step into the professional world of casting and experience the casting process from beginning to end. You will have the opportunity to work professionally in a studio to shoot and record your chosen scene, it must be a ‘duologue’ written for TV or Film.

There is often a battle between head and body. This work encourages participants to find language in as specific a way as possible, to translate imagination into the body, pay attention to one’s derivations and adaptations.

There is often a battle between head and body. There are multiple ways to describe one’s experience, to define activity, recharacterize and bring meaning. This work encourages participants to find language in as specific a way as possible, to translate imagination into the body, pay attention to one’s derivations and adaptations.

To survive the pressures of working in the increasingly competitive, fast-paced and constantly changing media arts industries, actors must continue to develop their skills and flexibility. In this workshop, participants will delve into exercises and learning games that help further develop their confidence, spontaneity, mental/emotional flexibility and collaborative abilities.

Join Conor & Alison in our Spotlight Studio where we are offering our Irish Spotlight members a unique opportunity to perform a Duologue Scene written for Film & TV in our state of the art casting studio: we will review, critique and direct your scene to camera, with lots of tips and professional guidance, this is a opportunity to any performer eager to explore camera techniques, self taping or simply overcoming any audition or studio nerves!

Accents are challenging for actors. We will consider both contemporary and classic texts to explore the actor's approach to voice, rhythm, imagery and sound. Shifting between works, your voice and acting skills will be stimulated and extended.

This workshop is a mixture of Vinyasa & Yin Yoga, offering waves of activity and stillness in the body. The theme offers self-exploration of mind and body through movement and meditation. Beginning with mantra chanting, moving through our heated and cooling yoga practice filled with dynamic moves and creative play, and finishing with a guided Nidra (Yogic Sleep) meditation.
