Experience theater maker Ahmed El Attar’s actor training method in this 4 hour long practical acting workshop. The method draws from French theater director and visual artist Jean Michel Bruyère some thirty years ago; it is based on improvisation exercises that increase the awareness of the actor’s tools by dissecting and developing them, allowing the actor to use them fully while building a character.
It aims to tackle the paradox of the actor: how to be able to create a character that is at the same time real but not a cliché, a character that clearly carries their spirit but that is not them, and a character that is identifiable by the audience but is unique.
