ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

Veteran of stage, television, and film, Ana Valdes Lim, will conduct a five-session acting workshop designed to help beginner to intermediate actors strengthen their fundamentals and enhance their performance skills. The workshop will focus on practical skill development, helping actors create more powerful and emotionally engaging characters, carry a scene, and develop strong onstage chemistry with their scene partners.

For this workshop, a custom script has been prepared to place actors in a variety of dramatic situations and give them the opportunity to explore a wide range of characters. The script is suitable for general audiences but includes several high-impact scenes that challenge actors to explore a broad emotional range from comedy and vulnerability, to anger, tragedy, fear, and relief.

Sessions will be conducted in easy-to-understand English and will include a strong physical component. Participants will learn to express themselves more effectively through their bodies and voices and will be expected to participate fully in all physical and vocal exercises.

The workshop will cover a range of rehearsal and performance techniques, including movement, physical expression, body readiness, stage positions, blocking vocabulary, memorization of lines, and improvisation.

At the conclusion of the five sessions, participants will perform selected scenes from the script in a limited-viewing presentation.

This workshop is an excellent opportunity for performers interested in developing their acting range and stage presence. The sessions have been structured to introduce participants gradually to the exercises and techniques before guiding them toward more challenging scene work and stronger, more confident performances.

舞台・テレビ・映画で豊富な経験を持つベテラン俳優、アナ・ヴァルデス・リム（Ana Valdes Lim）が、初級～中級の俳優を対象に、演技の基礎を固め、パフォーマンス力を高めるための全5回の演技ワークショップを行います。実践的なスキルアップを中心に、より力強く感情豊かなキャラクターの表現、シーンをしっかりと演じきる力、共演者との舞台上での自然な関係性や一体感を築く方法を学びます。

このワークショップのために、さまざまなドラマの状況や幅広い役柄に挑戦できるオリジナル脚本を用意しました。脚本は一般の観客にも安心してご覧いただける内容ですが、コメディや繊細な感情表現から、怒り、悲劇、恐怖、安堵まで、幅広い感情を表現することが求められる、演じ応えのあるシーンも含まれています。

セッションはわかりやすい英語で行われ、身体を使った実践的なトレーニングも多く取り入れます。参加者は身体と声を使って、より効果的に自分を表現する方法を学びます。また、すべての身体・発声エクササイズに積極的に参加していただきます。

ワークショップでは、ムーブメント、身体表現、演技に向けた身体の準備、舞台上のポジション、ブロッキング（立ち位置や動き）に関する用語、セリフの暗記、即興演技など、リハーサルや本番に必要となるさまざまな演技技術を学びます。

全5回のセッション終了後には、参加者が脚本から選ばれたシーンを演じる限定公開の発表会を行います。

このワークショップは、演技の幅を広げ、舞台上での存在感を高めたい方にとって、絶好の機会です。初めは基本的なエクササイズやテクニックから無理なく取り組み、徐々に難易度の高いシーンワークへと進みながら、より力強く、自信を持って演じられるようになることを目指します。
