33: Action Actors Lab - Training for Fight Choreography and Physical Roles

Former dancer and choreographer Cindy Claes, now action actress and filmmaker, reveals the essential skills and mindset needed to break into action acting, drawing from her extensive background as a "movement nerd". She is now also leading workshops called the ACTION ACTORS LAB.

• Understanding the fundamental differences between real combat sports and screen fighting choreography
• How physical posture directly influences emotional states for more authentic character development
• Using physical theatre embodiment techniques to create unique physical signatures for characters
• Balancing technical skills with character awareness in action scenes
• Adapting self-tape techniques specifically for action scenes
• Working with multiple languages and how each affects physical presence and authority
• and more!

If you're interested in joining the Action Actors Lab to develop these skills in person, send Cindy a DM or message on social media to learn more about these workshops.
