Acting Workshop: Arthur Miller in the Basement

ACTING WORKSHOP: ARTHUR MILLER IN THE BASEMENT
(Requires advance booking to secure place)

Arthur Miller was one of the most influential playwrights and screen writers of the 20th century. Married briefly to Marilyn Monroe, and a powerful chronicler of the American Dream, he was responsible for creating some of the meatiest roles in theatre and Hollywood history. In this workshop we will bring to life his most memorable characters, as well as explore some of the techniques we can use to intensify the emotional reality of a scene.

Located in the sound-studio of an artist's atelier, the Basement Workshop Series offers fun but focused acting classes in one of the coolest, creative spaces in Kreuzberg.

In these playful, two hour workshops, we will use games, exercises and text-based exploration to develop our skills as performers. Each workshop explores a different playwright, practitioner or skillset.

Participant numbers are limited to six, so each workshop will be intimate and focused. If there is enough interest, participants are invited to natter and network with other participants in the bar-style space upstairs (if the atelier is empty), or at one of the many other quirky bars / cafes in the area.

As a widely published writer, teacher and performer, Geoff draws on boundless humour and energy, as well as over twenty years of professional experience, to bring you an engaging workshop experience.

Places are strictly limited to 6 participants. Please pay in advance to reserve your place.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Who is this workshop for?

Anyone who has a specific interest in the topic being explored, and wishes to develop their skills or understanding as a performer. If you've never performed before, and you have the confidence to explore new territory, come along! If you're an absolute beginner and still not sure, you may wish to attend one of my Actors Gym sessions at the ZBK in Neukölln. It's a larger workshop with a broader approach. You will also need a high level of English, especially if we're workshopping classical playwrights.

What's the refund policy?

Unfortunately no refunds, unless someone on the reserve list fills your place. It's a small group, so no-shows impact the workshop dynamic, and make it difficult if I've planned for a specific number of people. In rare cases it may be possible to transfer the credit to another workshop.

What if I'm late?

Please be on time. We'll wait a few minutes before locking the door and descending into the shadows. If you're stuck outside, you'll need to text / call on the number I provide when you book.

What should I bring? How can I prepare?

Wear loose, comfortable clothing. Bring a bottle (of water, not vodka).

Where is the workshop based?

It's in the basement sound studio of Atelier Auglein. This is a small, cosy, sound-insulated space. It's a bit rough around the edges, and is 'very Kreuzberg'. Don't expect luxury. The atalier (co-working space) looks like a bar / cafe, or even a plant shop from the outside. The nearest station - Schlesisches Tor - is 2 mins away.

Are you available for personal coaching and corporate training?

Oh, but of course. Just speak to me in person, or email me at editor.silverscript@outlook.com, or here in the Meetup group.
