Masterlass with Gulu Monteiro
Building a Character
You'll Learn
In this workshop you will learn how emotions are fundamentally physical actions/movements of muscles in the face, limbs, and internal organs, and feeling are the mental representation of these actions and also the generator of conscious mind, rationality, imagination, and creativity.
You will create a character that has his own body (different from yours); the movements triggered by emotion in this new body will produce feelings and thoughts that are not yours either.
Enjoy then the freedom to experience your character`s own feelings and thoughts without tapping on your personal psychological issues.
