In this episode, we uncover the often-overlooked art of actor homework in the Demidov School. Nolan Hennelly, Kimon Fioretos, and their Professor and Mentor Andrei Malaev-Babel explore how Demidov's philosophy emphasizes preparation beyond the rehearsal room, empowering actors to cultivate creativity, freedom, and inspiration through daily practices.
From foundational exercises like "scales" to the crucial role of passivity, intuition, and the subconscious, we discuss how actors can sustain their artistry, embody their roles, and avoid the intellectual traps that hinder creativity. Along the way, we examine the power of the actor's "compass," facilitating truth and the intricate balance between discipline and spontaneity.
If you're intrigued by how the Demidov School redefines the actor's craft and wish to learn more about upcoming workshops or resources, we’d love to hear from you.

In this episode, we delve into the transformative approach of the Demidov Organic School to the concept of memorization. Unlike traditional methods, the Demidov School challenges the very idea of "memorizing" lines, proposing a more profound and organic process that aligns with the subconscious.

Join us as we explore why memorization can anchor an actor in their head and how the practice of "assigning" lines enables deeper embodiment, creativity, and freedom on stage. Along the way, we touch on Shakespearean spontaneity, the power of vibrations in speech, and stories of legendary actors like Eleonora Duse and Maria Yermolova.

Memorization is not just a preliminary step in the creative process—it is part of the art itself. Discover how to bypass the traps of intellectualization and tap into a richer, more authentic connection with your craft.
