Topics include:

• Live Auditions

• Self Tape & e-Casting

• Cold Reading

• Character Preparation

• Personal Positioning

• International Casting Expectations

• Career Strategy

• Professional Feedback

This format gives actors the rare opportunity to experience different casting philosophies, understand current industry standards and build valuable professional relationships across Europe.

Directors Camp for Actors

Work Like You Are Already on Set

 

The Directors Camp for Actors recreates the complete filmmaking process—from audition to the final edited scene.

Working alongside an internationally recognised Film Director and an experienced Casting Director, actors experience every stage of professional film production.

The process includes:

• Preparing a scene with the director

• Auditioning for the role

• Rehearsals on location

• Shooting the scene with a professional crew

• Collaborating as part of the cast throughout the production

• Receiving an edited cinematic scene for your professional showreel

Rather than simply performing exercises, participants experience how directors develop performances, communicate on set and shape a scene from script to screen.

The result is not only valuable practical experience but also high-quality showreel material created under real production conditions.

Ideal for: actors who want to deepen their screen acting skills while creating professional footage for agents, casting directors and international productions.

Acting in Motion

Action Acting Masterclass for physical challenges on set

Acting in Motion is an intensive action performance masterclass developed for actors who want to perform authentic physical action safely and convincingly on camera.

Led by internationally experienced action professionals, the program focuses on combining acting with movement, choreography and cinematic storytelling.

Depending on experience level, actors train:

• Camera Movement

• Action Performance

• Fight Choreography

• Authentic Reactions

• Physical Awareness

• Safe Weapons Handling

• Stunt Fundamentals

• Advanced Screen Combat

• Professional Set Safety

Participants finish the workshop by filming an edited action sequence that can become part of their professional showreel.

Whether preparing for action films, television series or streaming productions, Acting in Motion helps actors develop confidence, precision and believable physical performances for the screen.

Ideal for: film actors who want to expand their range into action productions.

Secret of the Lens

The Invisible Work Behind Powerful Screen Performances

Secret of the Lens is an intensive camera acting masterclass that explores what truly creates compelling performances on screen. Inspired by internationally respected approaches to screen acting, the format by David Penn focuses on the actor's inner process rather than external technique, helping performances become more truthful, spontaneous and emotionally precise.

Working in front of the camera, actors discover how small shifts in thought, attention and emotional connection create authentic moments that the lens captures with remarkable clarity. Through practical scene work, recorded exercises and individual feedback, participants learn to trust subtlety instead of performance.

The training includes:

• Authentic Screen Acting

• Camera Presence

• Emotional Availability

• Listening & Connection

• Scene Study

• Partner Work

• Self Tape Performance

• Character Truth

• Professional Camera Feedback

Rather than teaching actors how to perform, Secret of the Lens develops the ability to be fully present under the demanding conditions of film and television production. The result is work that feels natural, truthful and cinematic while strengthening confidence for auditions, self tapes and professional shoots.

Ideal for: trained and professional actors who want to deepen their screen acting, refine their camera presence and create emotionally authentic performances for international film and television productions.
