Welcome to an intense acting adventure!
You will connect with your inner DEMONS. They are going to confront you with you beliefs of who you really are.
You will explore your DREAMS. They are going to guide you into your subconscious and expand your ideas of what choices you can make.
You will get into your DRIVES. They are going to get you into acting and make you alive in your acting.
The foundation of this method is in the learnings of Stanislavski, the heart is in the Chubbuck Technique (and other techniques such as the Meisner Technique and Method Acting) and the steppingstone is the legacy of the psycho-analysist Carl Jung.
We will work on contemporary and classical scenes from movies, TV-series and stage plays. The work will be both analytical, emotional, physical as well as intuitive – using your whole capacity as an actor and human being. It will take you to all the messiest parts inside of you. It can be quite an overwhelming process, but more important; a deeply rewarding one.
To get a place on this course you should have attended International Summer Courses, other courses or workshops or worked privately with Elisabet for at least two years.
Working language is English.
WORKING WITH THE DEMONS
DEMONS are present in almost every culture around the world. It was popularized in the west by Carl Jung under the name of “The Shadow”. The DEMON is any aspect of the unconscious mind that we have rejected, denied or disowned. Plainly, it’s anything within us that we are unwilling to face – what we shoved down as deep as possible inside of us – both the darker aspect of ourselves as our shame, our fear, our phobias or traumas, and the lighter, as our greatness, our success and our beauty. Hidden deep down inside of us, the DEMONS are in fact powerful energy sources. They are closely linked to our creativity, and if we connect to them they open up new dimensions that can move us through creative blocks and make us look upon our artistic journey in a new light.
