HOW IS THE MASTER IN FILM ACTING – BALCAZAR TEKNIK® BUILT UP?

Master in Film Acting – Balcazar Teknik® consists of 4 modules, a show-reel production and a final certification with an external examiner.

Each module stretches over 3 months and each module builds on the previous module with the techniques and methods we teach.

In each module we work with an emphasis on a specific acting area:

BALCAZAR TEKNIK® INTRDOUCTION

TEXT WORK IN DANISH FOR FOREIGNERS

MODUL 3 – EMOTIONAL COMMUNICATION - STORY

MODUL 4 – OWN PROJECT - SHOWREEL-PRODUCTION

Each module begins with us meeting for a 3-day workshop so there is plenty of time to work in-depth and focus on the individual elements in the course.

At the end of the module, we meet again for a 2-day workshop to ensure the quality of the practical work. We will hold a follow-up online webinar midway through the module where everyone can ask questions and share experiences.

Each module starts with an hour of individual performance analysis online, where we focus on optimizing your work and clarifying personal goals based on resources, potential, and shortcomings.

You will be given tasks that you must work on in-between the modules and you will receive continuous mentoring and coaching of your work with an individual 30-minute zoom session each week where we will get an overview of your work process and artistic development.

In addition, will you get access to a closed Facebook group where you can search and discuss topics and share your work with others if you wish to.

To ensure quality in teaching, mentoring, and coaching, there are only 4 vacancies.

The actors learn to make their own instrument and make the created character available to the text.

The individual actor will learn to produce narrative messages that correspond with the character’s psychology. Based on the interaction between impressions and expressions, the actor will gain insight into how he or she can create dynamics and emotional precision in the development and turning points of the storrytelling, without the performance seeming forced.

We will work with texts and emotional communication, direction, journey, and dramaturgy.

3-day intensive workshop:

Day 1: emotional reading and the personal suggestion
Day 2: character experience and narration
Day 3: storytelling tools – direction

Mentoring and coaching – STORYTELLING –– individual zoom 30 minutes per week

We will work with emotional storytelling, character experience and direction as well as your personal goal using Balcazar Teknik®-tasks in analysis, experiences, direction, emotional moments, and management of emotional energy.

A 1-day intensive workshop on creativity and project development.

“The Balcazar technique seems rather mysterious at first, but I quickly experience it as the most natural way to let the character come into the world. I’m just letting it happen. I now know that I stand with a tool that is completely unique ”.

Jens Haubek

Actor & Visual Artist

“I got Emma recommended by my manager Anne Lindberg, as I have for a long time wanted to go to teaching again. I have worked in film and television for many years and know how important it is to constantly develop -and Emma’s techniques, teaching and being are some of the most educational I have ever experienced. I can feel a huge development in myself from time to time. Emma creates a space where one’s talent can flourish and which is safe and I highly recommend Emma to anyone who wants to develop as an actress. “

Sarah-Sofie Boussnina

Actress

“Balcazar technique is for me eternally alive. It gives me the freedom to step into any character and perform sincerely.”

Hervé Touré

Actor

“I had become acquainted with Emma’s working method through the morning training course at the Association. A concrete and direct approach to the cinematic expression versus the theater, which is where I am most used. I experienced how she was already there, with her very sharp gaze and a special sense , so what prevented me from letting things flow naturally and with a few corrections gave me tools to change and develop what needed to be done. “

Tine Gotthelf

Actor- DSF
