„Dem Tod muss man ins Auge sehen.“ Die Worte, die Federico García Lorca seiner despotischen Bernarda in den Mund legt, sind ein Requiem wider Willen. Knapp zwei Monate, nachdem der andalusische Dichter seine „Tragödie von den Frauen in den Dörfern Spaniens“ fertiggestellt hat, fällt er jener autoritären Gesinnung zum Opfer, die er anprangert: Im Sommer 1936 wird Lorca von den aufständischen Militärs verhaftet, wenige Tage später erschossen.
„Ein grausam genaues Spiel um gestaute Leidenschaften und Lebensvernichtung. Lorca hat in diesem psychologischen Drama die strenge, »tragische« Form gesucht, mit dem Ziel völliger Einfachheit. »Keine Literatur, pures Theater« wollte er darin verwirklichen. ›Kein bißchen Dichtung! Realität! Reiner Realismus!‹« soll Lorca gesagt haben. Wir spielen die Übersetzung von Hans Magnus Enzensberger.

The studio was created in 2023 by Andrei Biziorek in association with Thomas Weilharter as a place to both teach the Demidov technique so that it continues to reach a wider audience, and to research and explore the technique more deeply. The Demidov inner technique is a practical key toward the resurrection and further development of the rich Russian psychological theatre tradition. In contrast to modern theatrical and cinematic trends, those based on spectacle and special effects, the Demidov technique gives preference to the creative individuality of the artist. The studio runs regular introductory workshops, as well as intermediate level workshops for those with some experience of the technique.

Das Jahr 2023 fängt an mit einem Workshop bei Séamus McNally an! Séamus McNally is a seasoned, award-winning, New York/Berlin-based filmmaker, and a leading coach for feature films and television. He offers „On Camera Scene Study“ – Workshops at filmschool vienna.
Stillness – Presence – Pic/Pressions – Actions/Beats – Active/Passiv Imagination – Courage
Séamus is almost on a daily basis called upon to serve actors (and directors) at the top of their field in delivering some of their most convincing, nuanced work, often with very little time to prepare. Recent series work includes: Orange is the New Black, The Night Of, Vinyl (M. Scorsese), Too Old to Die Young (N.W. Refn), Roots, Black Mirror and a lot of German Television.
He has recently directed a feature film (along with Trine Piil) in Copenhagen called NOTHING (NICHTS), based on the classic young adult novel by Janne Teller, and is currently working with principal talent on the sequel series on „The Silence of the Lambs“ called CLARICE.
His on-camera scene study intensive is designed and proven to provide working actors with an effective, clearly defined system for creating specific, high-stakes, inspired scene work. This objective is achieved with great economy to meet the challenging demands of today’s industry.
Actors are first guided through carefully chosen scripted material, applying a complex but accessible system of analysis. For the first days of his Workshops, Séamus examines the needs of the material and how each actor may best serve them, with an emphasis on Actions. On the final day, the scenes are captured on camera under Seamus’ direction, and then played back. Actors receive constructive, illuminating feedback on their work.
Ultimately actors participating in his workshops leave with a solidified and elevated connection to their craft, and a refreshed confidence in their ability to deliver exceptional work on set.
