The Actors Gym (Berlin)

THE ACTORS GYM (BERLIN)

For all other events, take a look here

- You've done some acting before and would love to do more.

- You're a performer (e.g. improv/comedy/story teller) who'd like to develop your stage skills.

- You're an experienced actor who wants to meet other performers and flex your acting muscles.

The Actors Gym offers a supportive atmosphere of exploration at the Centre for Movement and Communication in Neukölln.

Through a series of games and exercises we'll work with voice, body and text to workshop a range of acting techniques and sharpen your skills as a performer. Each session will end with a prepared mini-performance.

Afterwards there will be a chance to hang out with other performers in the park opposite (if the weather is nice), or a nearby café.

Geoff - a qualified drama lecturer - has been teaching and performing for over twenty years. He has a passion for live performance and loves bringing creative minds together.

This is an English language event.

FAQ:

I've never done any acting before, is this workshop suitable for me?

Although most people who attend have done some kind of performance before, this would be a good space for you to dip your toes into the water.

We warm up with silly games, move into some more guided exercises (using body and / or voice) , which lead towards a more developed piece in the second half where actors work with a script-in-hand.

So far everyone who has attended has been friendly and supportive. Not many people who attend come from a pure acting background (instead they come from improv / dance / performance poetry / music, etc) and there is a range of experience levels within the group. Often we break up into smaller groups and learn from each other.

What should I bring? How can I prepare?

Wear loose, comfortable clothing. Bring a bottle (of water, not vodka). The space is also used as a dance studio, so you will be asked to remove your shoes.

Are you available for private tuition or corporate events?

Of course! Ask for more information.
