Acting, humor and seriousness

The aim of the workshop is to know the creative world of the author and director, working with scenes from his plays and staging them as he would in one of his rehearsals. Thus, the actor can train his own tools as the teacher suggests how to use his.

The work is addresse to strenghthen the confidence and the commitment with the particular talents of each actor as the main source of the creativity.
