LEARN TO HARNESS AUTHENTIC EMOTIONS ON CUE!

In this Five Day Intensive, you will learn John Orcsik’s Unique Method of Emotional Expression.

COURSE OVERVIEW

If you are looking for a technique that can help you become emotional on cue, take after take that doesn't require you to use real events from your past, pull you out of the moment, or speak about private, personal issues.

This technique will empower you with confidence to face the emotional beats in a scene. And allow you to fulfil the demands of the script and the story when under pressure.

Using John Orcsik’s unique method, you will learn a physiological process to express your emotions on screen, without the need to use emotional recall, sense memory, or any other potentially damaging techniques. There is no need to learn lines, prepare a scene or imagine a traumatic event to prepare yourself for this class, it is just you and the technique.

Using a technique rather than emotional recall allows you to practice it, over and over again and become better and faster at accessing the required emotion every time.

In the fast paced world of Film & TV, this is a reliable tool that, once learnt, you can call on at any time; take, after take, after take.

These are tools that an actor can use throughout their career, no matter what mood you are in, you can create the right emotion on screen for your character with these physiological processes.

TRIGGER WARNING:

Some of the scripts used for this session contain content that may be distressing for you.

Please note that the scripts contain direct reference and use of the following words and notions:

R*pe, Assault, trauma, grief, and extreme emotions (anger, yelling etc)

Whilst we always encourage you to push your boundaries and treat all sessions as if you were cast in a project, this is a learning environment and we want to ensure you are as comfortable as possible!

Please let us know if you have any questions, and if you believe you'll find this content too difficult to work with.

Please note: Payment plans are available - please email enquiries@tafta.com.au if you would like to set up a payment plan
