Oct 24 and 25: Masterclass Game Direction
On October 24 and 25, Cinesud is organizing a masterclass on 'Directing Actors'.
Under the guidance of experienced and award-winning director Remy van Heugten (Gluckauf, Van God Los - de serie, Feuten, Witte Vis) and a group of professional actors and actresses, you will spend two days sharpening and refining your direction of actors! Due to the intensity of the course and the specialized guidance and coaching, a maximum of 8 participants can join. So be quick!
custom made
During this two-day, tailor-made 'Directing' masterclass, you will get to work as a director yourself, using pre-selected scenes from a film script. Prior to the course on October 24 and 25, you will determine your needs and requirements together with Remy during a (telephone) intake interview. Based on this, one or two specific scenes will be selected in consultation for you to work on during the weekend.
During the course, you will learn to collaborate with professional actors, becoming a true source of inspiration for the people who will bring your ideas to life. You will be provided with tools to give direction, psychological goals, intentions, and imagery to the actors based on a scene. Additionally, we cover how to create freedom in the interplay by learning to think in terms of the possibilities of a scene, rather than thinking in a very result-oriented way (“look angry, look sad”).
Everyone will take turns working from the same film script, but with different scenes. In this way, all participants will be able to closely follow what the director, who is standing on the floor, is doing.
Participation
The course is taught by Remy van Heugten. In addition, there will be 6 to 8 professional actors (male/female, depending on the number of participants) of various age groups with extensive experience in theater, film, and television present with whom you will work. Depending on your needs as a participant and the availability of the actors, these will be announced as soon as possible.
Participation in this specialist course, primarily intended for directors, costs €299 for members, €399 for non-members, and €249 for students (members) (all amounts exclude VAT). Due to the intensive guidance and assignments, there is room for only 8 participants. The course is also recorded, so that you can watch it back later at your leisure to recall experiences and new insights. Lunch, drinks, and snacks are provided.
