The lifelong creative work of an actor, both the object and the subject of their own research, is the actor themselves. The work in the studio under the working title zero23 is conceived so that students of dramatic acting understand the main subject as an opportunity to develop personal predispositions and talents for the wide range of creative forms of dramatic acting. Essential is the conscious participation of students in the specific content of individual stages, which stems from the development of their skills.
We employ practices and procedures that bring energy and dynamism, are a source of curiosity, attention, and joy in acting game, develop psychosomatic skills, and encourage creative courage to make mistakes. In the studio laboratory, we work with feedback enabled by modern technology. Students discover and strengthen the ability for layered attention, composed interpretation, and selection of means for specific creative opportunities concerning the medium, format, audience, and content of the work. We utilize knowledge, discoveries, and creative techniques emerging from contemporary neuroscience, social sciences, and developments in media and virtual realms. The greatest development and joy come from discoveries made by acting apprentices themselves.
The graduate of the studio will create their own methods and tools, which they will cultivate and by which they will cultivate themselves, gaining the ability for feedback and self-monitoring for systematic work on diverse creative projects, for shaping their social and parasocial roles—for life in creative truth.
