Creating Character with Archetypes

Archetypes are an amazing tool for creating complex and authentic characters who behave unpredictably

Art is full of archetypes. Film directors and storytellers love to work with archetypes because they are universal and cross-cultural. It´s easy to connect with their behavior as soon as we come along them. According to Carl Gustav Jung and Caroline Myss, the needs, instincts and potential of different archetypes influence individual behavior.

The Lucid Body approach to archetype work is both personally enlightening as well as precisely practical.

This course is appropriate for beginners as well as people with prior Lucid Body experience. While the workshop is designed for actors, artists of all disciplines are encouraged to attend.

You may choose to bring a role or monologue to work with.                     If you don´t have a role with you, the workshop will be just as effective as you will come out of the workshop with two new characters you can continue to work with (for a new project, showreel scene etc.)
