PROFESSIONAL LEVEL

The focus of this Masterclass is to achieve outstanding performances rooted in the actor's true spirit and authenticity. Being present requires a strong bond with oneself, educating ourselves to hold our own hand, and consciously choosing to move towards genuine expression and delivery.​

 

As a participant of this Masterclass, you will be invited to develop and acquire tools for embodying your inquiry—a point of being when, grounded in ethos, we allow for personal breakthroughs and transformation by embracing our strengths and taking responsibility for our weaknesses. With this foundation, we are liberated to dive into the unknown. In other words, to dive into true presence. 

​

It's crucial for actors and artists to have clarity, meaning, and purpose when stepping into the unknown—whether it is for rehearsal or performances. Anchored in our bodies, the spirit is allowed to be free. We are allowed to step into uncertainty, where the bounds for creation are limitless.

​

This approach has worked for many of our dedicated professionals, resulting in exhilarating performances that are rooted in presence and essence, and recognised with world-class awards and red-carpet appearances. And while this is the ultimate goal for all of us, it is important to remember to always be kind to yourself and others every step of the way.

WORKSHOP DETAILS

Yorgos will lead this five-day Physical Lab Masterclass in Paris.

​

This Masterclass will equip participants with practical tools and techniques for use on set, stage, and during auditions.

​

The goal is to achieve outstanding performances rooted in the actor's true spirit and authenticity. 

A map for our inquiry in this Masterclass:

​

  • Where am I on the map of my acting evolution? What are my current acting strengths and challenges?

  • What is my artistic ethos, and what is my overarching goal for my acting evolution?

  • What is the core element of this character?

  • What is the core task of this scene?

  • How is all of this coming together into a unified expression?

In this 5-day Masterclass, full commitment is essential. Therefore, this opportunity is tailored for professional actors who seek to elevate their skills and fully tap into their innate essence without constraints.​
