DEMIDOV ACTING TECHNIQUE THREE INTENSIVE SERIES

(The Intensives in this Series can also be booked individually.)

This Three Intensive Series is aimed at actors who would like to receive a more extended taste of the Demidov work, focusing on in-depth work on the foundations of the technique and Demidov's inimitable approach to working with the power of circumstances. It is suitable both for actors new to the work and those with some experience who would like to go more deeply into the work.

Each Intensive focuses on a different aspect of the Demidov curriculum, with one stage leading naturally to the next. We begin at the core of the Demidov School: nurturing the actor's subconscious creativity and cultivating freedom of life onstage from the very first moments of training through Demidov's Etudes, before exploring how we allow our work to be truthful and alive each time we repeat – a moment, a scene or a whole performance – through what Demidov calls Inexact (Creative) Repetition. We then dive more deeply into discovering how we work with circumstances, learning how to surrender to them so that they guide us as an irresistible force.

THE INTENSIVES IN THIS SERIES CAN ALSO BE BOOKED INDIVIDUALLY FOR THOSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE, BUT CANNOT ATTEND ALL THREE INTENSIVES. ALL INTENSIVES WILL BE HELD AT PUSHKIN HOUSE IN BLOOMSBURY SQUARE, LONDON. SEE BELOW FOR EXACT DATES AND 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 Series will be led by Demidov Studio London Director, Andrei Biziorek.
