Acting The Script

Unlocking actions from the written word

Pro bono teaching and mentoring in Ukraine

Linnea Pihl created and conducted a comprehensive workshop in film acting and directing with a focus on empowering and educating theatre actors, war veterans and war refugees in Western Ukraine.

Pihl teaches the art of script analysis, breaking down scripts into actionable steps and emphasising the significance of beats and turning points.

The participants explore the nuances between screen and stage acting to gain a well-rounded understanding of the craft. By sharing her insights on self-taping techniques and effective audition strategies, she helps prepare the participants for a successful audition experience. Joining forces with renowned film director Anders Banke, they delve into critical elements like blocking, bracketing and fostering effective communication with film directors. Together, they equip participants with tools necessary to embark on a successful journey in the film industry.

Pihl is currently in the post-production stage of a documentary about this effort to decentralise the Ukrainian film industry and help it rebuild after years of defensive war.
