MORNINGS: The mornings will be reserved for volunteering in the first week. Volunteer opportunities exist in all areas, including film and theatre. After the first week, mornings will be reserved for rehearsal time, and any spare time will be left for participants to continue volunteering if they wish to do so, or take the time to visit the breathtaking city of Sucre.

 

AFTERNOON: Actors will attend afternoon workshops where they will learn various acting techniques, from Strasberg and Stanislavski, to Meisner, Chekhov and Adler acting methods. Actors who would like to focus on one technique in particular, can request this upon application to the program. In these afternoon workshops actors will also have the opportunity to work on scenes or monogues for their showreel. However once production gets underway, these workshops will focus on the acting work to be performed for the films at hand. 

Accommodation

Rooms will be shared between two participants, in either a b&b/hotel-style setting or on a large house on a farm, with easy access to rural Sucre, as well as the city centre.

The V Word

Acting

Are you novice filmmaker or actor? Or have you already worked on a few films? Do you crave the backdrop of a foreign and exotic location where you can make an original film or documentary? Somewhere new, where you can tell an original story? Then this is likely what you are looking for! This filmmaking adventure is for both pros and novices, and is tailored to individuals and groups. Filmmakers will be in groups of 5 maximum, and each group will make a short film, or in some cases work towards a feature film, and have their turn at several roles in front and/or behind the camera.

 

MORNING: Participants will attend morning workshops where they will learn filmmaking skills, and how to use the cameras and equipment on hand. Screenplays are written and come to life in these morning workshops, as does the filmmaking process.

 

AFTERNOON: Afternoons will be reserved for volunteering in the first week, and after that, the afternoons will be reserved for pre production, production and post production.
