I'm interested in the Embodying class

Demidov’s Organic Technique stresses perception, spontaneity, and emotional
authenticity—qualities essential to truly living the text, rather than just recalling it by rote.

In this masterclass, you’ll learn to:

Embrace organic line absorption through Demidov’s “assigning” technique, immersing yourself in the scene and character so that lines flow naturally from your emotional engagement.
Move from the deeper, essential aspect of your lines rather than mechanical memorization, making line retention a byproduct of genuine organic process.
Access your subconscious mind to avoid overthinking, letting lines become second nature and enabling you to respond authentically in the moment.
Use Demidov’s signature etudes to internalize text without tension, cultivating a fluid, relaxed relationship with your material.

Ideal for actors seeking a more intuitive way to learn lines while enhancing their connection to
character and text, this workshop nurtures spontaneity and emotional truth.

Training conducted in English via Zoom; spaces are limited
For actors of all levels who want to create a stronger link between text, imaginary circumstances, and character—without relying on mechanical memorization.
