ACTOR’S STUDIO
The afilm Actor’s Studio is a working space, a hands-on rehearsal lab where actors can create in a real working environment, beneath the spotlights, in front of a camera. The studio sessions are geared towards the core creation of layering a character for the actor and fleshing out their preparation for their role in a film. Scenes are rehearsed, refined, recorded and finally produced in front of a live audience. We will explore what really works in the language of film and how to use it to the actor’s full potential in front of the camera.
PREPARATION FOR CASTING
Casting sessions require their own specific methodology, application, practice and overall presentation for the actor. Through rigorous, constant practice, the actor is guided through making brave and truthful decisions with interpretations of character and dialogue.
IMPROVISATION
Improvisation sessions based on San Francisco's world famous Keith Johnstones Impro techniques compliment the preparation for casting classes and role preparation alike.
One to one
One hour - one to one sessions with the director to focus intensively on the actor’s final monologue preparation for their live performance and showreel production.
Complimentary sessions
These sessions are devised to take the actor away from the classroom into the outside world, sharpening observation, building their character and layering their role. Explore these possibilities through stimulus of Barcelona city and the beautiful Garraf region.
