A 5-day, 25-hour embodied process for actors/performers seeking emotional truth without forcing or performance.
📍 Seville · June 8–12 · 1–6pm daily · Limited to 12 participants
(Open to accommodate French, Spanish & Portuguese speaking participants because I speak those languages also and can navigate the linguistics without it being an issue.)
This is a focused intensive workshop for performers who are ready to deepen their emotional availability with clarity, regulation, and presence.The work is rigorous but grounded. Emotional truth is approached through exploration and embodiment. We´ll explore how deep each artist can go and how to return to that level of depth on demand. The obejctive is to release all emotional blocks and to learn through trial and error how to harness the desired emotions on cue. We´ll explore how to create the best circumstances so that the performer won´t need to "act" but rather can make themselves open and available in a way that authentic emotion can enter their character and scene allowing themselves to be surprised by what arises which is more often than not, better and more raw than any premeditated choice.
Dates: June 8–12
Schedule: 1–6 pm daily (5 hours, with a short break)
Total hours: 25
Location: Seville, Spain
Group size: Maximum 12 participants
WHY SEVILLE?
Seville in June brings intensity and focus. It´s a mystical Andalusian city with passion coursing through its streets. Ideal stage for dramatic exploration. Drama is in the air and the heat and rhythm support a deeper listening, and stronger embodiment. Being here is part of the commitment. We have planned evening activities to unwind every day as a group with tapas and Spanish guitar.
✧ SCHEDULE ✧
A deep dive into emotional truth… wrapped in the rhythm of a Sevillian summer.
DAY 1 — Arrival: Opening the Door
We begin by stepping into emotional authenticity—gently, but with intention. Through guided relaxation and awareness exercises, we uncover internal blocks and identify the subtle triggers that hold expression back.
From there, we build connection: trust-based exercises designed to create a space where vulnerability feels safe, supported, and creatively alive. This is the foundation—where the mask softens and the real work begins.
Evening: Tapas under the warm night air—time to unwind, connect, and let the day settle into the body.
DAY 2 — Awakening: Body, Music, Emotion
We deepen the process through movement, rhythm, and music—unlocking emotion beyond the intellect. This is where instinct takes the lead.
You’ll begin exploring character creation rooted in truth, not performance. Personal discoveries emerge, emotional barriers soften, and vulnerability becomes a tool rather than a risk.
We prepare the performer to be emotionally present—both privately and in front of others.
Evening: Flamenco, tapas, and fire—an immersion into raw, living expression.
DAY 3 — Creation: Finding Your Voice
Now, we turn inward. Each participant begins developing a monologue tailored to their personal process and emotional landscape.
This is a laboratory of truth: no clichés, no habits—only exploration. You’ll be guided to discover what actually works for you when accessing depth and emotional availability.
We build reliable, personal techniques for entering intense emotional states with clarity and control.
Evening: Tapas and reflection—grounding the day’s discoveries in shared conversation.
DAY 4 — Expansion: Connection & Camera
Your monologue evolves, and from it, dialogue is born. We explore the chemistry between actors—how to create immediate, authentic depth and stay present in the unknown.
You’ll experiment with tools that allow spontaneity without losing emotional precision. This is where play meets discipline.
The day culminates in presenting your work—both to the group and on camera.
Evening: Aperitif by the river, reviewing performances as the sun sets—art, perspective, and soft summer light.
DAY 5 — Integration: Freedom in Partnership
We refine dialogue work, focusing on presence with a scene partner—learning to listen, respond, and give without losing your own creative pulse.
You’ll strengthen your ability to stay authentic under pressure, while also being generous and responsive in collaboration.
We close with emotional release exercises, clearing residual tension and integrating everything learned. Final reflections, tools for continued practice, and honest conversation about sustaining this work beyond the workshop.
Evening: A final dinner together—celebrating the journey, the breakthroughs, and the connections made.
✧ The Experience ✧
This is not just a workshop.
It’s an intensive artistic immersion where deep emotional work meets the pleasure of summer nights, shared meals, and vibrant culture.
Work. Play. Feel. Create.
