Performance for Film or Theater taught by experienced teacher

Translated by GoogleSee original

From 65.8 C$ /h

Whether they are group or individual, I teach according to the particularities and needs of each student. For this I work with several theorists of Theater and Acting: Stanislavsky, Strasberg, Brecht, Meyerhold, Grotowsky, Barba, Santiago García, Jonhstone, Boal, Meisner, Psychodrama, Layton, Magical or Transcendent Acting, Commedia dell'Arte, among others. The courses develop and release the expression of the body, voice, feelings, concentration, imagination, the ability to improvise on stage and encourage play as a way of learning. The assembly of plays or filming of short films is one of the purposes that I pursue, as I consider it essential to put into practice the skills and knowledge acquired. What makes me special is the excellent treatment with my students, full of respect and the depth in the acting sense to which I am taking them. What pleases me the most is the radical change that they have once the courses finish. The workshops are aimed at children, adolescents, youth and adults with no age limit. In the case of group classes, they are divided according to their age.

English classes for beginners and intermediates. Specialized in youth and adults

82.96 C$ /h

My classes are fundamentally based on the Interchange and Speakout method, however, I customize them according to the needs and level of each student. I use games, songs, videos and other materials and methodologies to make learning effective and dynamic.
We set a schedule for the first session in which we organize a personalized plan, adapted to the student and their needs.
The methodology is based on making the student spend most of his time speaking in English about his favorite topics and learning what he really needs.
The sessions are aimed at meeting your goals in learning English without losing motivation.

✓ Improvisation is the art of composing within the framework of a role play, without being overplayed so as not to lose credibility, by taking pleasure and appearing convinced (because communication does not consist, for example, of having confidence, but of appearing confident). It helps with a wide range of skills (imagination, emotional faculties, physical expressiveness, vocal projection, clarity of speech, interpretation, improvisation, observation, emulation, stage combat...) to make public speaking, communication , theatricalization enhanced by the stage space and the play of the actor - improviser, during speeches or presentations for example.

➤ On the telephone, in a meeting, in front of a client, his family (...), relevant and successful speaking must always be effective and efficient, with clear, simple and impactful messages, creating a balance between the message received and message sent.

➤ So, how do you listen and be listened to, convince/persuade and be impactful, challenge and leave an impression, enhance your content, address your audience relevantly and optimize the quality & clarity of the exchange/message? It is precisely a question of going through, applying and deploying practical and effective techniques of oral presentation, simple intervention or 'one to one' exchange, aiming to challenge one's audience or interlocutor, taking care of both the content and the form. , all in a professional or personal setting. Here again, there is a range of precise verbal and non-verbal communication techniques which, once modernized and brought up to date, will be put to the service of your reality.

➤ In short, improvisation, dramatization, public speaking skills are today essential transversal skills for asserting oneself, informing, negotiating and convincing. However, to master the keys to successful public communication, it is necessary to strengthen the impact of one's own speeches: by structuring one's interventions and taking into account the circumstances and expectations of the public; by making an impact through storytelling; integrating the psychological and emotional factors of effective oral communication; by integrating emotions into the preparation of the message and arguments; anticipating objections and delicate situations; by preparing and structuring an attractive and convincing presentation framework; by experimenting with the rules of improvisation; by adequately managing difficult situations (...).

➤ In short, each session combines techniques & practical exercises adapted to your everyday situations (filmed with your agreement in order to be reviewed, commented on, decoded together live, to have an external perspective and areas for improvement) , so that you will be able to apply them immediately, and from the first session.

Classes, choreography and staging! in person or virtually

Are you going home and want to do something special? Let's do it together, whether it's a dance, a performance, or whatever you want—alone, with your partner, family, bridesmaids, or whoever you want. There are two options: I'll teach you how to dance the genre you're going to dance plus the choreography, or I'll just teach you the choreography. It's up to you.

The cost of creating choreographies depends on their duration (in addition to the cost of the class and/or rehearsal).

All ages and levels, don't wait any longer!

Hello, I am Kyra. I have both an artistic and educational master in drama at LUCA School of Arts. In addition, I sometimes give acting coaching as a teacher at the drama department of LUCA School of Arts.

I offer two things:

1) Basic camera acting course (Beginner/Intermediate):
How do I behave in front of the camera? What is the difference between acting in a film and acting on stage?
What should I look out for? What are the secrets of castings? And what should I know?

Using a fictional casting, we will investigate together how you come across on screen. We will analyze a scene and work with different camera techniques such as applying different image formats, listening, reacting and thinking on screen so that you can confidently take the (next) step in the world of camera acting.

2) Game coaching in preparation for an audition or shooting day (Beginner/intermediate/advanced):

I coach you in preparing a monologue/scene for an audition or a shooting day.

I am happy to act as a guide for your first steps in the world of (on-camera) acting and auditioning.

For learners looking to pick up practical Chinese, Chinese is a core tool that links daily communication and lets you experience local culture. As a learner, you need to get a handle on practical expression logic and situational usage to make your conversations smoother and more natural. This course I’ve designed is a practical Chinese class made specifically for Chinese learners.
You’ll learn communication phrases for high-frequency daily scenarios (like ordering food, casual chats), get the hang of basic Chinese character writing logic, and learn to describe your thoughts with fitting expressions. This won’t just boost your basic Chinese listening and speaking skills—it’ll also let you join daily Chinese conversations more comfortably.
