This One Day Intensive Workshop is an ideal introduction to the Demidov Acting Technique, and a chance to go deeper into the work for actors familiar with the work.

During this intensive, you will be introduced to Demidov’s Culture of Creative Freedom, at the root of Demidov Organic Acting Technique, which sets it apart from other techniques and approaches to acting.  You will be introduced to Demidov’s signature etudes (improvisational exercises with a given text). Through Demidov’s etudes we get a first taste of what it means to truly live in the moment, to truly see and hear on stage, to remain ‘here and now’. We are encouraged to trust our spontaneous urges, and exercise creative freedom. We do so by surrendering to the genuine life that develops on its own.

The Demidov School approaches the creative process as an indivisible whole – everything we need is already in us from the beginning. We learn to trust our own innate talent. Demidov etudes spontaneously evoke circumstances, character and relationships. They stimulate our unpredictability and emotional richness, and instigate the free flow of subconscious creativity.

On this intensive you will study techniques intrinsic to the Art of Living Onstage: Trust the life that is already there and follow it. Give in to your first impression or experience completely so that it develops on its own. Green-Light your urges while letting them continue to develop.
According to the principles of the organic technique, exact repetition is impossible, if we want to truly live on stage or screen. During this intensive you will also get a taste of what it means to ‘repeat without repeating’ – how to allow each repetition be alive and spontaneous, as everything develops and matures on its own.

The Intensive will be led by Demidov Studio Vienna Founder and Director, Andrei Biziorek.
