The Ostrenko Method:
It is an effective approach to physical training and actor's skill development, combining movement psychology with biomechanics to enhance bodily awareness and expressive capabilities. It benefits practitioners by improving their physical condition, emotional expressiveness, and creative thinking, thereby fostering a deeper connection between body and mind. This method is particularly advantageous for performers, as it enables them to achieve more nuanced and authentic expressions in their performances. It includes techniques from Meyerhold's "Biomechanics," M. Chekhov's "Psychological Gesture," and Stanislavsky's "Physical Action".
Performers will be able to explore:
The main question which will be explained practically, through the series of technique and improvisational exercises, is how to work with actors in order to help them build their movement, body angles and body placement in performance in accordance with their characters.
