Summer Workshop acting out scenes from movies

Starting this Saturday the Macondo theater in Buenos Aires will be the scene for a unique summer workshop acting out scenes from movies. "We believe theatre and creative activity can reinforce language, liberate body and soul and bring about a more positive response to life's unending challenges," say the organizers.

"After watching the scenes we will organize role play activity and do improvisations based on the characters and conflicts, adding to them our own creative reconstruction of each situation.

"The scenes will be filmed so as to compare our versions with those of the actors in the movie.

"Although the workshop will be in English, it is possible that those who feel their English is not polished enough may form a team to work in Spanish.

"The workshop will include the usual drills on voice, breathing, body expression, gestures, games and acting technique."

No previous experience in acting is necessary.
