as used by British Director MIKE LEIGH
(Naked, Secrets Lies, Vera Drake, Another Year)
A six -day workshop for actors and directors
In contribution to creating changes and diversifying different film making ap-proaches in Vietnam, BlackBox has collaborated with award winning Australian Film director Robert Marchand to bring about an intensive training workshop in Character-based improvisation.
This intensive workshop is a practical investigation of a unique process. It exam-ines Mike’s – and Robert’s – methods from beginning to end in a dynamic, in-formative and interactive 6-day workshop. It breaks down this process into logical, easily-absorbed steps. Then the actor creates a character during the workshop, building depth and complexity over several days of improvisations and discussions. Finally, the directors film scenes based on the dramatic work created through the workshop.
“Rob’s inventive use of the Mike Leigh process gives actors the opportunity to experience deeply the state of being in character as opposed to acting the char-acter. The actors found the experience incredibly rewarding, for some it changed the way they approached their acting. Rob has an intuitive, supportive and totally non-judgmental way of bringing the best out of any actor and his blend of process and creativity provides not merely an educational experience but a creative journey for the actors which takes them seamlessly to the point of delivering authentic screen performances.” Kim Krejus, 16th Street Acting Studio
“I was rapt that the course was so informative and hands-on. I thought the blend of the participants was also fantastic and Robert wasn’t too bad a tutor too he he he.
