This year, Jerry will offer two workshops:

A one-day teaser (Nov 1), where Jerry’s unique approach to truthful acting and solid partner work will be explored through contact exercises based on the Meisner technique, improvisational work and relaxation. From ‘getting in touch’ to ‘getting to the moment’ – Jerry Coyle explores and re-defines the famous ‘repetition’ exercise and provides individual approaches to the core of acting.

A 3-day workshop (Nov 4-6), where the technique will be explored in scene study and camera work. Each active participant will be assigned a scene for the workshop. Under Jerry Coyle’s guidance, you will experience a huge step ahead in your understanding and mastering of scene work and preparation. Jerry Coyle helps you to release common blocks and unhelpful habits – and provides you with individual tools for shooting and casting preparation! Over 30 years of active teaching make Jerry Coyle’s renowned classes a memorable experience for advanced actors as well as beginners.

Active participants will work in front of the camera and analyze their work through screenings and feedback rounds. Observers will take part actively in all group exercises and in the analysis and feedback rounds.
