demidov studio london
The studio was created in 2018 by Andrei Biziorek in association with and under
the guidance of Demidov Master Teacher Andrei Malaev-Babel, as a place to both
teach the Demidov technique so that it continues to reach a wider audience, and
to research and explore the technique more deeply. The Demidov inner technique
is a practical key toward the resurrection and further development of the rich
Russian psychological theatre tradition. In contrast to modern theatrical and
cinematic trends, those based on spectacle and special effects, the Demidov
technique gives preference to the creative individuality of the artist. The
studio runs regular introductory workshops, as well as intermediate level
workshops for those with some experience of the technique. The studio also has a
ongoing studio group dedicated to exploring the technique in greater depth. DSL
also organises an annual London Demidov Summer School intensive led by Master
Teacher and DSL Curator, Andrei Malaev-Babel.
