We invite you to an intensive, practical training course in film and theatre make-up! The workshops are practical in nature – each participant will work individually and in pairs, acquiring the real skills needed to work as a make-up artist.

Workshop schedule:

Introduction to practical work on a film set (types of film sets: short/feature films, etudes, documentaries, commercials; departments, communication between departments, the role of production; script reading, pre-production, documentation).

Terminology  (terminology in the make-up department; the role of the head make-up artist, second make-up artist, assistant).

On set – practical work (how long does a shoot last; how to read a work schedule correctly; moving around on set; communication on set; precedence – informal or formal address? health and safety; the role of language, or how to communicate effectively within the department).

On the first day, we will go through quick techniques for ageing actors, the basics of wig making: how to properly put on and care for wigs, types of facial hair and how to apply them.

On the second day, you will independently create minor wounds, learn the basics of sculpting and casting, and apply and paint special effects.
