Acting workshop to explore the meaning and application of archetypes.

⁠⁠Ever notice that certain types of characters seems to keep coming up in the stories you read and watch? The lovers, the wise ones, the absent parents, the heroes, the list goes on and on. In this acting workshop, we'll identify archetypes and learn to play them by pursuing their objectives through a wide variety of obstacles. And then we'll discover the depth, and sometimes comedy, that comes out when combining different types into one character, an innocent ruler, a lover villain, a wise outlaw. You'll come away with a greater awareness of archetypes and practical skills for bringing them to life on the page and on stage. No previous acting experience required.This event is part of an ongoing collaboration between the theater collective <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sicada.berlin/" title="https://www.instagram.com/sicada.berlin/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Sicada </a>and b23. Together we’re hosting a series of workshops to build a toolkit for personal empowerment through the various creative methods the world of theater has to offer.*If you can't afford a regular ticket but would love to attend anyway, please send us a message (hi@b23.berlin) and we'll find a solution.
