Demidov Three-Intensive Series: Foundations and Circumstances 1 and 2

This 3-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.
