MAIN HALL
- To act or not to act – that is not even the question! (acting workshop for stuntmen (leader Nikša Butijer, actor and lecturer at Acadamy of Dramtic Art in Zagreb))
- 10:00 – 12:00
MORE INFO
Acting encompasses a significant amount of stunt work, and that’s why we’re organizing this workshop, to make a certain scene or task more convincing, concrete, or truer with our presence. Therefore, we will work on expressing our feelings more freely in front of the camera. Several short scenes will be selected that will satisfy a wide range of actor’s intentions and feelings, regardless of whether we want to show pain, laughter, joy, sadness, quarrel, death, and deal with the complexity of these feelings so that they can better present the story, more easily embody the characters. Hardly anyone who is primarily involved in stunts thinks about these things. “All beginnings are strange and it is difficult to persevere, but with a sufficient number of attempts, miracles are possible,” says the workshop leader, Nikša Butijer.
