From February 16 to 22, 2026, the I.L. Caragiale National Theater in Bucharest, as part of the Ion Sava Center for Theater Research and Creation, is organizing an Acting Workshop coordinated by actor Razvan Oprea. The theme of the workshop stems from research on personal experience working in theater, with the aim of identifying certain triggers of creativity and reactivity in actors. The Quantum Training workshop addresses: - Acting and presence techniques (vocal and physical training, concentration and spatial awareness exercises, improvisation exercises in character building) - Collaborative writing processes (brainstorming and collective storytelling methods, text adaptation methods, rehearsal techniques) - Communication, group dynamics, and creative leadership (active listening, managing creative blocks) In addition to acting techniques, all participants benefit from the recommendations of certified professional collaborators, who offer advice based on concrete tests and evaluations. The workshop will use state-of-the-art equipment that measures the parameters of the human body, helping participants to gain self-knowledge and improve their performance. During the workshop, participants will have the opportunity to meet Monika Karacsony, a specialist in artistic PR and branding for artists. She will present a clear and practical perspective on professional communication in the arts. In an industry where talent needs visibility to be recognized, participants will discover how to define their artistic identity, how to build an authentic personal brand, and how to develop a solid digital reputation using simple and accessible tools. A maximum of 20 actresses, actors, or students may participate in the workshop. To register, interested parties should send a brief presentation and a photograph to centrulsavatnb@gmail.com by February 8. The selection will be announced on February 10, 2026. The workshop will take place daily during the aforementioned period in a rehearsal room at the National Theater.   Translated by Andreea Codrea-Boeriu
