The audience and the public will be given the opportunity to look into the process and then ask questions and participate in discussions.

The methods will be effectively adapted to the needs and impulses of the group of participants. This particular approach is particularly suitable for theatre and film professionals (actors/actresses, directors/directors and others), students of performing arts or theory, performers, but those who need preparation for entrance exams.

The module will include practical research in areas such as: impulses, originality as an obstacle, building tactics to avoid “playing”, exploring the stage and discovering space for movement, finding one's own potential, building confidence and self-confidence, mastering professional terminology and acquiring skills of communication and self-reflection in the group and beyond.
