Preparation for Castings
In a casting actors are under pressure. All the more as – even at international castings – there will be scant help offered. Two pages of text and ten lines of character description will frequently be all an actor has to hold onto when being invited. Often it is easier to find and follow a lead when working with an experienced partner.
Preparation of Roles and Days of Shooting
Every role has its very own requirements an actor needs to identify and meet. A coach can help for example in:
- Screening a script
- Exploring the inner world of a character
- Rehearse triggers for specific moments
- Find and explore another body and it’s movements
Coaching for Writers and Directors
The characters in a script are all interconnected through a dense network of relationships, conscious and unconscious needs, common goals and different wants. Together they create a balance that serves as the inner structure to the film and supports it’s arc.
What does an actor need to know about their character to be able to play it? And how can it best be achieved? This question is already helpful at script level. For directors, it offers the possibility for a shared language and better support on set.
