5. "FREE" INTRODUCTION SESSION with Gilles Plouffe - MONTREAL
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------
John Strasberg's "ORGANIC CREATIVE PROCESS" for the actor. My Organic
Creative Process evolves from where the Method, other systems, and the
great teachers like Stanislavski, my father and Stella Adler, left off.
I define, and train Talent, Imagination, Intuition and Spontaneous
Inspiration, the Natural Laws of Creativity that remained a mystical,
invisible world to teachers before me. My basic training develops the
actor's knowledge of him/herself. Beginning with, and developing from,
your natural capacity to become deeply involved, an actor dreams awake,
creating a new life, from real and imaginary life. You make the
invisible world visible; expressing your, intuitive and conscious,
vision of life in your art. Because, an artist has something to say
about life. 
FREE Session - One evening - Tuesday January 31st, 2006. - 7:30 to 10:00
P.M. at 1258 rue de Normanville (Corner of rue de Normanville - near
Jean-Talon metro station) 
TRAINER: GILLES PLOUFFE is an experienced professional actor working in
theatre, film & television. He has studied and worked many years with
Mr. Strasberg and has also taught acting at ACTRA, the National Screen
Institute, the Algonquin College Theatre Program, Dynamic Theatre
Factory and Theatre North America. He is Program Director of the John
Strasberg Studios Montreal.
