Acting for Camera workshop - James Larkin

Saturday 23rd March & Sun 24th March @ 10:00 - 17.00

Overview

Do you find auditions terrifying? Are you not getting the bookings from your self tapes? This exciting new course with Director and actor James Larkin will give both emerging talent and established actors an insight into what works on screen, both small and big. This is a unique opportunity to develop your craft and transform your performances for self-tapes, auditions and when employed on set.

For who?

This is an opportunity for both emerging talent and established actors to gain an insight into what works on screen, both small and big. All levels of experience are welcome.

Aim of the workshop

This workshop is to equip and allow you the Actor to bring depth, humanity and watchability into your performance.

It will give you a comfortable sense of relaxation on set when performing – a knowing that ‘you’ve got this’: an inbuilt confidence and ease, allowing you to step out of your own anxious performance thinking, and bask in a boundless pool of free flowing creativity.

Objectives

We can and do overcomplicate the acting process – and in doing so, get bogged down in the intellectual, over analysing thinking mind, instead of tapping our huge inner potential of free flowing imagination. We innocently cover up with technique after technique the natural ability of humans to play. Watch kids. Are they worried about what their hands are doing, or whether they delivered their dialogue correctly, with the right inner intention, or appropriate ‘inner animal’ etc? All the excerises you will learn will free you from these constraints and make screen acting fun!

By the end of the workshop you should be able to:

• Get back to the building blocks of all creativity, the stem cells, the well from which it all emanates: our own innate imagination.
• Tap into this resource that allows you to create a performance that is free, hugely watchable, intriguing and undeniably human.
• Develop and utilies a technique which will give you inbuilt confidence and ease when performing to camera.

What do you need to prepare/wear:

• A short piece of around a minute learnt before the course
• Loose comfortable clothing

Trosolwg

Ydych chi'n gweld clyweliadau'n ddychrynllyd? Ddim yn cael lwc gyda'ch hunan-dapiau? Bydd y cwrs newydd cyffrous hwn gyda'r Cyfarwyddwr a'r actor James Larkin yn rhoi cipolwg ar yr hyn sy'n gweithio ar y sgrin, bach a mawr. Dyma gyfle unigryw i ddatblygu eich crefft a thrawsnewid eich perfformiadau ar gyfer hunan-dapiau, clyweliadau ac wrth i chi weithio a chael eich cyflogi ar set.

I bwy?

Mae hwn yn gyfle i dalentau newydd ac actorion sefydledig gael cipolwg ar yr hyn sy'n gweithio ar y sgrin, bach a mawr. Mae croeso i bob lefel o brofiad.

Nod y gweithdy

Mae'r gweithdy hwn yn arfogi ac yn caniatau yr Actor ddod â dyfnder, dynoliaeth i mewn i'ch perfformiad.

Bydd yn rhoi ymdeimlad cyfforddus o ymlacio ar y set wrth berfformio – gwybod bod 'gennych chi hyn': hyder a rhwyddineb adeiledig, gan ganiatáu ichi gamu allan o'ch meddwl am berfformiad pryderus eich hun, a ymlacio mewn pwll diderfyn o greadigrwydd sy'n llifo'n rhydd.

Amcanion

Rydym yn aml yn gorgymhlethu'r broses actio – ac wrth wneud hynny, yn cael ein boddi yn y dadansoddi meddyliol, yn hytrach na tapio i mewn i'r dychymyg sydd a potensial enfawr a sy'n llifo'n rhydd. Rydym yn ymdrin yn ddiniwed â thechneg ar ôl techneg gallu naturiol bodau dynol i chwarae. Gwyliwch y plant. Ydyn nhw'n poeni am yr hyn y mae eu dwylo'n ei wneud, neu a wnaethant gyflwyno eu deialog yn gywir, gyda'r bwriad mewnol cywir, neu'r 'anifail mewnol' priodol ac ati? Mae'r ymarferion i gyd yn eich rhyddhau o'r cyfyngiadau hyn ac yn cyflwyno actio sgrin mewn ffordd hwylus.

Erbyn diwedd y gweithdy dylech allu:

• Ail ddarganfod blociau adeiladu pob creadigrwydd, y ffynnon y mae'r cyfan yn deillio ohoni: ein dychymyg cynhenid ein hunain.
• Defnyddio technegau i greu perfformiad sy'n llifo yn rhwydd, yn hynod wyliadwy, diddorol ac yn ddiamheuol dynol.
• Datblygu a chyfleustodau techneg a fydd yn rhoi hyder a rhwyddineb adeiledig i chi wrth berfformio i gamera.

Beth sydd angen i chi ei baratoi/gwisgo:

• Dysgu darn byr o tua munud cyn y cwrs, byddwch yn gweithio ar y darn ar gamera.
• Dillad cyfforddus llac
