InterNEST (EN)
THURSDAY 5, 12 AND 19 SEP – 19:15 @ Agora, Vrijhof
Our InterNEST group rehearses on Thursdays and performs an English play at the end of the year. This year InterNEST will be doing the play Speakeasy. This will be an immersive show, so the audience will actually be ‘immersed’ into the play. This show is about a party during the roaring twenties and the audience will be part of the show. The group is directed by Erik Goetjaer. Erik plans to work hard, but also bring a lot of fun into rehearsals.
The first open lesson will focus on natural acting. The second open lesson will be about stage combat. The final open lesson will focus on theatrical intimacy. You can find some details about how and why this will be discussed in the open lesson below.
Would you like a taste of what it is like? Join the open lessons in the first 3 weeks of the academic year at Thursday the 5th, 12th and 19th of September at 19:15 in the Agora, Vrijhof.
More details about the theatrical intimacy open lesson
On the stage we have so many moments in which we need intimate scenes. From people who are giving each other a hug to people playing an intimate love scene. But how do we do that without crossing each other’s boundaries? Having respect for each other and seeing the scene as “stage choreo” instead of “real intimate feelings” is of the essence. And my boundaries can be somewhere else today than tomorrow. How do we handle these scenes on stage?
As Speakeasy will have close intimacy involved, the director found it very important to handle this with the utmost care. Therefore he took a course of staging intimacy in this day and age. We want to make everyone feel comfortable and safe while staging these scenes.
This open lesson will take you into the basics of setting boundaries and handling intimacy on stage. We won’t be doing any “heavy stuff”, or intimate touching during the open lesson.
Disclaimer:
This is a show containing a few sensitive subjects. Rehearsals are in a safe space and we will always listen to you. Due to the mature themes in the show, actors must be at least 18 years old by the first rehearsal.
