IMPRO: ACTORS' SPACE IN SPAIN
BODY, VOICE, IMPROVISATION
An acting and improvisation course for life, theatre, and performance.
Course Master: Anatoliy Holubovskyi. Methodology Author and Curator: Misha Kostrov
We view acting as a language of discovery, co-creation, research, and self-awareness – a way to connect with oneself, others, and the world, and to immerse oneself in new forms of interaction. Like any living language, it is sensitive and evolves, acquiring new meanings, enriched by fresh experiences, incorporating new methods, and revealing its unique findings. And, like any language, it can be applied across different realities and areas of life.
We have designed this course to be a flexible and responsive system of fundamental knowledge, tools, and practical acting skills that support an actor's professional development and growth. It also massively transforms the lives of those who seek to express themselves and live a conscious, harmonious, and fulfilling life, providing the skills to adapt to various circumstances and effective practices for restoring personal resources.
Our desire and intention to share practical experience resulted in an acting course that extends beyond the purely theatrical realm, continuing to prove its practical value in everyday life amidst turbulent times.
Who this course is for:
For grown-ups from 16 to 60+ years of age who wish to develop expressiveness, charisma, self-confidence, sensitivity, empathy, quick thinking, adaptability, and interpersonal skills, all cultivated through acting. This is for those who appreciate an adaptive approach and high-quality acting training, developing independent, strong characters, bringing out unique natural talents, and a supportive and inspiring creative environment united by common values and purpose.
Duration of the course:
One semester, 6 months long, with classes held twice a week. The programme of the course is given below on this page.
How the training is conducted:
Live acting workshops in the studio, combined with lectures via Zoom.
You will train your body, mind, and emotions just as professional actors do.
You will study the theory and engage in the practice of acting skills.
You will learn to become the best version of yourself while embracing the different facets of who you are.
Immersion into profession
The goal of the course is to equip each participant with high-quality knowledge and skills in acting, which you can practically apply both in professional acting and in daily life. Throughout and after the course, participants have access to continued learning opportunities, as well as additional activities and workshops if desired. The program fosters community support, joy in collaboration, self-expression through interaction, inspiration, grounding, and a warm, welcoming environment.
Experienced trainers
Our instructors are active theatre and film actors and directors who continually deepen their knowledge and refine their skills. We also invite masters in directing, film and theatre production, casting directors, philosophers, writers, and more. We believe in the importance of the harmonious, holistic development of the actor, the individual, and the person. Our students excel in life, film, and theatre. The creative process inspires us—we craft films, performances, and people, renewed through the art of acting.
Plenty of practice
Theoretical and exercise-based elements of the course are logically supported by intensive practical sessions, including group performances, etudes, monologues, plays, and experiments. At the end of the course, practical assessments consolidate the knowledge and skills gained throughout the program. You will learn to communicate with partners and the audience within the sphere of stage performance, gaining unique experiences in establishing and maintaining a connection with yourself and the world through acting techniques.
