Read below for extra events, extra discounts and all-inclusive fees. Watch Information Videos and including small demonstrations. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DETAILED INFORMATION The Balkan region is known for its rich and diverse musical heritage, which has been influenced by various cultures and traditions over the centuries. I am launching this new course to share the finer things about Balkan music. The correct notes can be played by any musician, but how often do I find myself in tears when listening to a great musician who gets it so wrong, simply because they did not have the opportunity to travel, listen, and learn from native masters? Instead, they might have learned it third-hand or from a piece of sheet music. Western classical music notation cannot fully capture the essence of other types of music, and a metronome can stifle the authentic phrasing of asymmetric Balkan rhythms. I am not a native Balkan music master either, but I feel very privileged that I had the opportunity to learn from several of them, and engage in endless, wild jam sessions. In this course, I aim to convey not only the right musical feel but also the fervour and passion for this music. The weekly course primarily targets melodic instruments. Tunes will be taught by ear, initially using the voice (sheet music will be sent out beforehand), and then practiced on the instrument. Special attention will be devoted to phrasing, articulation, and, of course, the typical charisma of Balkan music to give it that truly magical sound. Whilst I am a violinist and will demonstrate and lead with the violin and voice, the course is suitable for any melodic instrument. The level is aimed at intermediate to advanced players, although ambitious and diligent lower-intermediate players will also do well. We will briefly cover accompaniment aspects, including chord progressions, rhythm patterns, and techniques. Dedicated workshops for chordal instruments and percussion will be offered as we progress. The course will run weekly and continuously, with no regular sessions during usual UK school holidays. Booking will be in advance in 5-session units. Each unit can be booked individually, or you can sign up for an annual booking and pay in 6 instalments distributed over the whole year, receiving a 20% discount on the total course fee. For precise dates and a detailed payment plan please visit the BOOKING page. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INFORMATION VIDEOS about the general aims and philosophy of the course how to achieve expressive ornamentation how the accompaniments relate to the tunes -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ADDITIONAL EVENTS Balkan Academy Jam Session: A music making session, 3 times a year (towards the end of each term), online and in person, where course participants and their friends can play the studied material with a full-on group, including rhythm section and vocals.  Fee: £9 for course participants, £12 for others - sheet music downloads included Dates to be announced.   Chord Progressions and Accompaniment Special: A special workshop three times a year for guitars, accordions, pianos, bass players, and similar instruments, both online and in person.

Fee: £9 for course participants, £12 for others. Dates to be announced. Balkan Percussion Special: A workshop designed for percussionists to study the rhythm patterns and techniques related to the course material.

It is tailored to friends and bandmates of the Balkan Melody Mastery course participants, allowing the pieces to be performed together in your own groups and jam sessions.  Fee: £9 for course participants, £12 for others. Dates to be announced.

AN ONLINE COURSE TEACHING YOU HOW TO WORK WITH SCRIPTS FROM SCRIPT ANALYSIS TO CHARACTER EMBODIMENT USING BECK EMOTIONAL ACCESS TECHNIQUE An actor’s work with the script begins in analysis. However it must end with performance. But how exactly does one move from the information gained during the breakdown phase to embodiment of the character? It is certainly not a straightforward process and it involves a number of steps. When we are talking about embodiment we mean that our bodies and our emotional instruments must be engaged. So, one way to think about this is that we are moving from the cerebral realm (our understanding of the character) to the physical and emotional. The technique developed by the studio’s founder Beck Emotional Access Technique or BEAT for short bridges this gap between the realm of thoughts and understanding, the physical world of behaviour and the internal emotional world which only you experience but of course we, the audience, sense. BEAT has revolutionising actor training by bridging these realms through a set of intuitive exercises known as the BEAT Scales. Actors trained in this technique find it easy to not only access emotions safely, but to also make fine adjustments which lead to deep and nuanced performances. Over the course of 5 weeks, we deliver powerful technique for character embodiment to help you leave behind confusion, uncertainty and approximation. Instead, you will feel empowered through a no nonsense approach that puts you, the feeling body, in the centre.

ACTING COURSE FOR BEGINNERS: LAYING THE RIGHT FOUNDATIONS   Have you taken a few acting workshops but still feel you are unsure about the Foundations of the craft of acting? Do you feel like there are gaps in your knowledge when it comes to acting technique in general? A good way to tell if you may be missing crucial skills is to pay attention to what happens when you are preparing for a role or for an audition. If you find yourself staring at the bits of dialogue and action on the script and not really knowing how to begin, then there’s a good chance you are missing key pieces of the puzzle.  Or… maybe you do know what to do but don’t really understand why you are doing it… Or…  maybe, you are unsure about why you want to act: you feel at a loss when someone asks you a simple question such as, why do you want to be an actor? THE RIGHT FOUNDATIONS FOR YOUR ACTING CRAFT & CAREER To be successful you should know how you need to do ‘acting’. And, if you have greater insight into why you might want to do it, you will be even more successful. After-all, you are intending to spend considerable time and resources on it. Attending classes such as this one for instance and shooting a showreel… You don’t have to have all the answers right now (not that you ever will!). But it is important to make a meaningful start into the ‘how’ and the ‘why’! This online acting course has been designed for exactly this purpose: The Acting Course for Beginners will get you started and onto the right on track. Beginners, you will benefit from laying the Foundations for later work to rest on. Actors who have trained previously but feel they are missing the base: this course will hopefully step in to re-frame, reconfigure and help you make sense of some things that you may already know. The first few weeks of training focus on crucial knowledge building and involve re-thinking the craft of acting. You will learn straight forward definitions that make sense and that are not couched in ‘artsy’ talk that makes you feel excluded. In the middle part of the course you will learn about AID and BEATTM, the acting method we teach. Throughout the course we cover integral career building skills to help you think about your own journey and assign practical exercises to help you open up to the possibility of actually becoming a professional in this business. In the final week, we focus on the next steps, paving the way for an exciting, meaningful career in Acting. Packed with knowledge, tools, insights and tips, you will walk away having a better idea about who you want to be as an artist and the practical steps you can take to get to the next stage. COURSE REQUIREMENTS * ALL LEVELS WELCOME: There are no prerequisites for joining this Course! * BEGINNING ACTORS: Benefit from setting the right Foundations on which to build your knowledge of Acting Techniques and Career. If you haven't started your acting training then this is the place we recommend you start from. Not only will you get important insights about how to approach acting craft, you will benefit from re-framing your career path in the profession. * EXPERIENCED ACTORS:  If you have acting experience but yet feel unsure about the fundamentals of acting craft, this course could be very useful for you. The classes will not only reframe for you some existing knowledge, but will further introduce you to the AID-METHOD and pave the way for creating plans for a Career in the profession.

AN ONLINE COURSE ON SCRIPT ANALYSIS DEMYSTIFY SCRIPT BREAKDOWNS Breaking down scripts can feel arduous for most actors. Script analysis often feels like a piece of homework. It makes total sense then that actors don’t really feel like doing it much. The thing is, the script is the singular most important document for everyone working on a film project. Ranging from the producers and financiers to the production assistants and the people building the set, the script is central in the proper execution of the film project. So you as an actor, really have no choice. And why is it anyway that so many actors feel either a sense of dread, panic or boredom when it comes to working with it? The answer, it seems, is that many actors are not taught how to work with texts in order to glean from them what they need. Heard of objectives, super objectives and intentions? Confused about where to find them and how to understand them? Feeling stuck and overwhelmed when told to come up with a character’s ‘backstory’? Or do you feel unsure about what the other characters in the story may mean to one particular character? What if you were to find out that most of the above is in fact not needed. What if you were told that there was a way you could uncover a great heap of the vital information you needed to play a character just by reading the text differently? This course aims to do just that. Simply put, to teach you to read scripts as if they were blue-prints and not merely stories. In this way you have access to maximum information about who your character is; information that you most likely previously would not even have noticed. GAIN MASTERY OVER SCRIPT ANALYSIS In this course we focus on screenplays and get to work on scripts from a variety of films you have most likely watched and enjoyed. The first few weeks focus of the Script Analysis Course deliver to you our powerful scene breakdown method. In the weeks that follow, we practice analysing scripts from different genres and styles giving you great insight into the writer’s own mind. Through vibrant class discussions, engaging homework tasks and the tutor’s feedback, you’ll come to see the script as a place for possibilities, imagination and pure artistry. COURSE REQUIREMENTS * There are no prerequisites for joining this Course! * BEGINNING ACTORS: Benefit from a powerful script breakdown technique that is not only straight forward and intuitive, but also highly effective and efficient. * INTERMEDIATE & EXPERIENCED ACTORS: If feel yourself stuck and bogged down by too many instructions, too many methods and want a practical super helpful new way to think about text, then this highly recommended for your level. KEY POINTS * 5 WEEK COURSE, 5 X 2HR WEEKLY CLASS (TOTAL 10HRS) * SMALL GROUP (MAX 12 PEOPLE) TO POWER LEARNING * SESSIONS CONDUCTED LIVE OVER GOOGLE MEET * CLASSES AVAILABLE TO WATCH BACK WHILE THE COURSE IS RUNNING * 30% THEORY, 70% PRACTICE/HOMEWORK PLAYBACK A script is a blue print.

AN ONLINE ACTING COURSE ON HOW TO PORTRAY REALISTIC RELATIONSHIPS ON SCREEN AND STAGE Stories are always about people in relationships. Werther they involve real human beings, inanimate objects or ideas, characters in film and theatre are either motivated or hindered by people and things they have some kind of relationship with. Skilled actors are able to ’embody’ relationships convincingly and genuinely. Their interactions with their co-stars are richly layered and nuanced – much like our relationships are in real life. ‘What’, they do and ‘how’, they do things with each other reveals specificity in the relationships they are depicting. This specificity is so important in performance that sometimes it may be a major reason why a particular actor is chosen for a certain part.  As an audience member you may have experienced how powerful relationships work is. You many have found yourself walking away from a performance, saying that the lead actors had ‘chemistry’ with each other – or, that they did not. Despite how key relationships work is, actors are rarely taught how to do it exclusively. As a result, actors feel uncertain about how to properly ‘get into’ or embody a particular relationship. This course has been designed for exactly this purpose!   TRAINING ESPECIALLY TO DO RELATIONSHIP WORK Part theory, part practice, the course will introduce you to practical tools you can use right now to elevate your auditions and acting performances. The first part of the course focuses on equipping you with tools you need to recognise relationships in script work. The second part of the course is purely practical. Through a set of exercises you’ll learn how to embody different relationships convincingly. Or said differently, how to be truthfully ‘in them’ during your performance. COURSE REQUIREMENTS * INTERMEDIATE ACTORS WELCOME: To join the course you will need at least intermediate acting skills.

ONLINE SCREEN ACTING COURSE GREAT ON-SCREEN PERFORMANCES LEAVE THEIR MARK IN OUR MEMORIES. SOME PERFORMANCES EVEN BECOME ICONIC.  Here at the Studio, we’ve brought knowledge gained across producing, writing, directing and coaching to bear on the question of how to do great, memorable screen acting performances. We’ve discovered that it comes down to the actor’s ownership of the character. Indeed, when we think of memorable or iconic screen performances we find it difficult to separate the actor from the character. There is a sense in which the character becomes the character. Or another way of thinking about it, the actor owns the character. The skill of becoming or owning the character is even harder on screen than it is on stage. On stage, performances rely heavily on the actor’s skill in voice and movement – as well of course their ability to use emotions the way they are supposed to. Mastery over physicality, voice and emotion is often what makes the stage actor memorable in a role. But if the stage actor relies on voice and movement primarily, what does the screen actor need to hold onto to elevate their on screen characters? How does ‘becoming the character’ look like for the actor working on screen? This course is a first step into helping you create memorable characters on screen – character performances you own. Over the course of the 5 weeks, the Online Screen Acting Course will deliver key insights into how to do screen acting the most powerful but also, most efficient way. Key to our practice will be teaching you how to read scripts deeply and helping you see how you can search the text for clues into characterisation that may lie under the surface. In the final weeks of the course, students will learn how to make confident choices, take the risk of committing to some choices while at the same time remaining flexible enough to change, adapt and adjust their performances in line with the casting director notes or the director’s requirements. Take the first step into learning screen acting technique the powerful, intuitive but yet also easy way. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COURSE REQUIREMENTS * INTERMEDIATE ACTORS WELCOME: To join the course you will need at least intermediate acting skills.
