DEMIDOV THREE DAY INTENSIVE: CIRCUMSTANCES - FREEDOM V. FORCE
This Three Day Intensive will introduce actors to Demidov’s unique approach to accessing our inner freedom, cultivating our intuition, perception, spontaneity, and ability to surrender fully to our inner urges and the truth of our experience in the moment.
Over the course of this weekend, we will discover how to orient ourselves in the circumstances of a given text and to surrender to them fully. We will learn how circumstances become 'given', and how they become clearer and deeper every time we repeat a scene. We will learn to let ourselves be driven by the force of circumstances, rather than forcing ourselves to do, think or feel anything. In this way, living as character becomes effortless and spontaneous.
THIS INTENSIVE IS FOR ACTORS BOTH NEW TO THE DEMIDOV WORK, AND ALSO FOR THOSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO GO DEEPER INTO IT. THE INTENSIVE WILL BE THREE DAYS, SIX HOURS EACH DAY: MAY 2, 3, AND 4, 2025. SEE BELOW FOR THE EXACT TIMES.
The Demidov School approaches the creative process as an indivisible whole (everything we need is already there from the beginning). We put the actor’s talent, creativity, and intuition at the heart of everything we do. The Demidov School was created in the latter part of the 19th Century and the beginning of the 20th Century by Nikolai Demidov, a close associate of Stanislavsky. But the school and technique were lost to us for many years. Thanks to the efforts of Professor Andrei Malaev-Babel - head of the Demidov Association - who recreated the technique according to the letter and script of Demidov’s original ideals, we now have this revolutionary approach to actor training.
This Intensive will be led by Demidov Studio London Director, Andrei Biziorek.
