Being on stage is never easy. Especially being alone in the spotlight could be a scary and disorienting experience. Just like this current situation we are in.

Many times when we are doing a solo performance as an actor or standing alone on stage as a musician or a public speaker we need to fight with many invisible obstacles within ourselves. In this lecture we will discuss efficient methods and ways that can help anxiety, concentration, imagination and self awareness work better in these situations.

Adam Boncz has performed and produced many solo performances around the world and he will share his experiences which incorporate most efficient methods from Strasberg to Lecoq. This lecture will guide participants to find useful tools on stage and off stage in order to cope with their artificial loneliness.

Participants of our course will be introduced to practical exercises that help them to develop a sense of body consciousness. These exercises focus on the notion of gaze, focus, perception of the space, and our body in the given space.

Furthermore we will engage our imagination and embody it, meaning let our body respond to our creative impulses and to our imagination. A given imaginative atmosphere may help us to step away, get away and escape from our everyday routines, and explore a creative and inspirational emotional and mental space, entering into a creative sphere.

The classes is based on psychodrama as a platform for exploration of the actor's creative process and principles in acting on which different acting techniques are based on. Psychodrama is a worldwide, recognized group psychotherapeutic method, developed by Jacob Levy Moreno and based on his theory of roles, which uses acting as a tool, but psychodrama techniques can also be applied in a creative context. Participants will explore their personal and creative needs, difficulties and challenges of their own creative processes. The class focuses on basic principles in different acting techniques (for example Michael Chekhov, Lee Strasberg etc.)

The webinar is based on couching principles and technique that help to deeply understand our own needs. How needs manifest in our everyday life? How fear is connected to values and what can we do to change our habit patterns? Practical recommendations and a free dialogue will allow us to see human beauty and get inspiration to go further.
