These sessions allow the development of skills and knowledge of the trade, with the game facing the camera, familiarization with the audiovisual environment and the camera tool, in the art of acting.

Your inventiveness and your uniqueness being at the center of your training, it is a question of dwelling on the objective criteria, such as the voice, the use of the body, the relationship with the partner, the capacity to occupy the space. But it is also the singularity and the commitment that are decisive.

The objective of this training is to be able to:

- Analyze and dissect a text
- Create, develop and embody a character
- Understand the artistic and technical writings of a film or a play
- Create, cultivate and develop one's artistic identity and singularity

(...)

Through simulations and role-playing, the association between theory and practice makes it possible to achieve its objectives.

PLACES :
- Locations: Geneva - Lausanne - Friborg - Neuchâtel - Montreux - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne. But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid.

These sessions, for which you have asked me, also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). Indeed, they have the advantage of face-to-face sessions (ex: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (ex: the entire session transcribed in writing on the chat). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option.
- As other people do regularly, you can also please your loved ones by offering gift vouchers available all year round.

THE TRAINER
From a Grande Ecole post-preparatory class in France & Ivy League University in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 14 years in the field, in international establishments, intervening in forums and conferences.

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.

✓ 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 , the theatricalization enhanced by the stage space and the play of the actor - improviser.

✓ Your inventiveness, singularity, commitment and signature being at the center of this training, it is about giving you the techniques to improvise, create, stage, while showing confidence and conviction to your interlocutors, in the private sphere or of the professional.

✓ So how can you also confront your shyness or lack of (relative) self-confidence by surpassing yourself by moving forward?
➤ Express yourself with your body, your emotions, your ideas to mobilize your abilities and your creative energy
➤ Explore your path to personal expression in complete freedom and security by overcoming your fears of expressing yourself in public
➤ Activate flexibility of mind, particularly by practicing active listening
➤ Develop your creativity and imagination while overcoming your shyness, developing your speaking, listening and responding skills
➤ Anchor lasting resources such as letting go, leaving one's comfort zone thanks to a caring framework and personalized modules/exercises

In application: For example, awareness raising and introduction to the Art of Storytelling have several objectives: Storytelling in public, Composing a repertoire of stories, Organizing a collective show, Games and bringing emotions into play (...). These theoretical training and practical training sessions (story structure, voice, memory, diction, management of stage fright, etc.).

It is a question of going through the history of the tale (origin, different styles of tale, difference between tale and story), the art of telling (work on the voice, the body, the imagination), the tale and the child (importance of the story for the overall development of the child, resource of the imagination, difference between reading and telling) ...: in short, the intention of this course is to make you want even more, to better tell stories

Open to all those interested in the story (parents, teachers, animators, educators ...), these sessions can also be offered to the person of your choice.

With the program, for this example of storytelling art in particular:
✓ Explore and experience the art of storytelling and discover its hidden sides
✓ Express yourself with your body, your emotions, your ideas, play with situations (...)
✓ Mobilize your capacities and creative energy
✓ Open interior spaces of reverie
✓ Explore your path of personal expression in complete freedom and security
✓ Overcome your fear of public speaking
✓ Make room for your imagination, Develop your creativity
✓ Activate flexibility of mind, Practice active listening
✓ Cooperate, create, play down

The art of storytelling therefore allows you to develop your creativity and imagination, because you are both a director and an actor. It also allows you to overcome shyness and develop speaking, listening and responding skills. Each person evolves at their own pace and uses their sense of creativity.

Objective: to anchor sustainable resources such as letting go, creativity, presence or self-confidence. In short, this artistic discipline will accompany you in your personal development and will help you get out of your comfort zone thanks to a benevolent environment and playful exercises.

✓ Indeed, apart from the classic advantages of videoconferencing (time saving related to travel & their unforeseen events, eco-responsibility, increased schedule flexibility, etc.), the quality of the session & the interaction remain identical. In addition, the entire exchange, notes and recommendations are immediately transcribed on the dedicated chat.

La formazione aziendale è una noia? Ogni volta che ti mandano ad un corso preferiresti spararti?
Fallo con un attore!
Con l'APS ti diverti apprendendo!
Acting significa recitare, recitazione, ma anche "to play" significa recitare, suonare, ma anche giocare. Vorrà pur dire qualche cosa... :)
Siamo tutti sempre davanti ad un pubblico! 1, 10, 100, 1000 persone! Chi lo sa meglio di un attore? Chi più di un attore è abituato a parlare in pubblico? E poi... è più divertente!

Partendo dagli elementi essenziali della Comunicazione, le lezioni di APS (Acting Public Speaking) integrano nello specifico del parlare in pubblico molti degli elementi base della recitazione, in una modalità che parte dall'esperienza diretta dell'insegnante.
Lavoreremo quindi sui “classici" elementi base della Comunicazione (verbale, non verbale, paraverbale), nonché sulla preparazione di un discorso pubblico: scegliere i contenuti, le fonti, il setting, e molti degli altri aspetti che rendono un discorso in pubblico un discorso efficace.

Il mio approccio attoriale pone l’attenzione sul respiro, l’uso della voce, le basi di dizione (articolazione ed elementi di ortoepia), l’ascolto e l’osservazione di se stessi e degli altri, la memorizzazione, il corpo, la postura, il contatto col pubblico.
Fai arrivare i tuoi contenuti in una conversazione, in un colloquio di lavoro, una conferenza, un esame, un'interrogazione, una recita (amatoriale e non), quando leggi un tuo scritto! Respira, ascolta, parla al tuo pubblico usando tecniche attoriali.
Divertiti parlando in pubblico. Se ti diverti tu, si divertirà anche chi ti ascolta, e ti ascolterà più volentieri, anche se l'argomento è serissimo!
D’altronde: chi, più di un attore... Ah, l’ho già detto... Ma... ti ho detto che c’è anche da divertirsi..?

ATTENZIONE! L'orario delle lezioni è indicativo: contattami se preferisci altri orari!
