A morning of fun refresher exercises in many of the skills we have worked on in the syllabus - including fast work, nonverbal storytelling, and physical transformation.

Although this class takes place in a mocap studio you will not be in mocap suits as it would only serve as a distraction and additional cost at this stage.

ALL ALUMNI INTRO and UP are eligible.

Mocap acting is total acting - so this class will inspire and invigorate your acting in all the genres you work in. This is your "woodshed" work. Working on your craft because you are an actor.

That's what mocap actors train to do. If you watch mocap reference of Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson, Christopher Judge - you are drawn in to their world and forget they are in an empty space in a mocap suit.

This empty space has been the crucible for proving and improving acting.

So - this refresher is filled with exercises that remind you of what it's like to play with others and create a shared imagined reality that makes the rest of the world disappear...

Tutors: Pascal Langdale

BIO: Pascal Langdale is an actor known for his reliable versatility across multiple media. He has worked in TV, Film, Video Game and Voice. He is a movement specialist with an expertise in nonverbal behavior, and brings his characters to life through voice, body and psychology - all adjusted to the demands of the medium.

Recent work includes Hondo Ohnaka (Star Wars) Far Cry 6 (complex Body doubling) and the voice of Bagley in Watch Dogs: Legion for which he was nominated for a Canadian Game Award. This also saw him mocap the performances for many of the NPC’s, and was movement choreographer, specialising in gesture and physicality. Once privately described by a colleague as “The Swiss Army Knife” of Motion Capture acting, Pascal has worked on numerous video games since his first role as Ethan Mars in Heavy Rain, in Voice, Mocap and Performance capture, Actor performance matching, reverse ADR, Facial Capture Operation and demo production.

Pascal co-wrote "Performing for Motion Capture" for Bloomsbury Methuen, with Director and Co-founder of The Mocap Vaults, John Dower. This is the world's first in depth resource for the education of the next generation of actors facing an increasing use of digital production not only drawing on the combined experience of the MCV teachers, but also conducting interviews with over twenty experts in all stages of the pipeline.

A born Londoner, Pascal is a graduate of The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art 3 year acting course, who made Toronto his home in 2011. He has credits in supporting roles in more than 100 TV, film roles, in the past decade in Canada, these include Killjoys, Bitten, Suits, and the Randal Okita movie, "See for Me".

Pascal is an active mentor and instructor in “Embodied Acting”, using Laban Technique and his own Psycho-Physical technique, that draws on nonverbal behavior studies. He does this through his company Collective Intent, and as head of the Canadian branch of The Mocap Vault.

*Please note that this class does not make use of mocap technology. At this stage, the technology serves only as a distraction and slows down the process considerably. We introduce the mocap studio tech later on in our curriculum.

CANCELLATION POLICY: We require seven days notice prior to the class in order to be able to offer you a refund. If you notify us within seven days of the class then we will try to find a replacement and refund you but cannot guarantee this will be possible.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR STUDENTS TRAVELLING LONG DISTANCES

Very rarely, for unexpected reasons, occasionally we don’t get the numbers of students we need to cover costs. This means that occasionally we may offer another MCV class or an entirely different class. This decision is normally made within 7 days of the class. Bear this in mind when booking flights or accommodation as we are not liable for these costs should we need to change the class that you are ineligible or do not want to attend. Please reach out through the contact form to be put in touch directly with the teacher to help give you the green light as early as possible.
