The Art of Being You

CONTENT:

We live in a world increasingly shaped by video. From Instagram and TikTok to YouTube and Facebook, short-form video has become one of the main ways people communicate, tell stories, share ideas and experience the world.

This workshop explores the ability to connect with an audience through acting skils, improvisation, communication exercises and collaborative filmmaking.

While completely , out of your comfort zone, in a different country, different traditions, language barriers where you must create your upgraded SELF.
