MASTER CLASS AUDITION TECHNIQUE
led by Paolo Antonio Simioni & Kata Bartsch
In a market where 'readiness is everything,' this masterclass offers the unique opportunity to work with two complementary figures of the artistic scene: Paolo Antonio Simioni (Acting Coach and Pedagogue) and Kata Bartsch (Casting Director).
The goal is to provide actors with a solid analytical method to break down the script and, subsequently, the practical tools to remain magnetic and 'casting-ready' under pressure."
The workshop is held in:
- Hungarian
- English
- Italian
Trailer:

“The readiness is all!” William Shakespeare
The program:
-> Day 1-4
Technical Foundations and The Method
Led by Paolo Antonio Simioni
The first 4 days are dedicated to acquiring the analytical tools necessary for actor autonomy.
The work will focus on:
• The Tripartite Structure of the Character: A study of the character's complex framework to achieve an organic, non-stereotypical construction.
• The Three Levels of Script Analysis: A systematic approach to decoding what is written, what is acted, and what is left unsaid—transforming the word into physical and emotional action.
• Immersion in the Simioni Pedagogical System: A deep dive designed to break down resistances and prepare the "creative ground."
-> Day 5
Coaching & Auditioning
Led by Kata Bartsch and Paolo Antonio Simioni.
"On the final day, theory transforms into immediate practice under the combined gaze of the coach and, crucially, the casting director:
• Application of the Method: Transposing the three levels of analysis onto film and television scenes using fast and effective tools.
• Casting Practice: Audition sessions directed by Kata Bartsch. Participants will experience the real-world dynamics of a screen test, learning to manage the unexpected and to enhance their acting choices in front of the lens.”
*** The masterclass will incorporate psychophysical release sessions
led by Alessia Pellegrino to support the 5-day training journey

Targeted Feedback: A direct evaluation of performances to refine communicative effectiveness and technical precision.
