Renowned acting teacher, Valentina Mariucci, is coming back from Italy for one exciting week, to teach her famous workshop at the Chicago Actors Studio, The Method International, inspired by the Strasberg Method. It's a concrete discipline, a revolutionary sequence of training exercises, based on mental and physical relaxation, on sense and emotional memory and on the willingness to lead actors to discover and fulfill their whole and most authentic potential. The workshop is a journey in which every actor takes up a truthful transformation, by getting rid of all the habits and tensions, which prevent us from being fully expressive and artistically creative. Each actor will go through an evolutive path where the most important thing is the effort and commitment to get to the result, and not the result itself. There is no judgment. Everything is based on the truth and authenticity of the moment. Every movement, every breath, every word is something new for the actor. Every exercise is a gift, a research, an inspection, a true artistic and human discovery.
