ACTING WORKSHOPS: Method Acting for Everyone

Workshops were based on the Strasberg method and leaned on sensory memory and concentration practice.
They were not meant just for actors or those who possess a talent for acting, but for everyone who speaks in public, all those who are curious and everyone who would like to get rid of their fear of public speaking.

Workshop Leader: Žiga Čamernik, theatre actor and free-lance journalist
