Courses Introduction

Don’t just dream. Create!
Here you learn to bring it to life.

There is a moment when dreaming is no longer enough.
You want to tell stories, to create, to express yourself.
You want to give shape to your inner world, the one that only you can see and feel.

At DomasArt Film School, that desire becomes a real journey: a path that unites art, technique, and heart, where imagination turns into creativity and passion becomes talent.

Through six areas of training: Acting, Writing, Directing, Art of Communication, Cinema Culture, and Yogic Arts. You will be guided by Master Raman Turhan step by step to develop your artistic vision, your potential, and your style.
Because cinema is not just a profession: it is a way of seeing the world, of listening to it, and of transforming it into something artistic and original.

And if you have come this far, perhaps something inside you is already knocking, ready to reveal itself and take form.
Open that door. Let your artistic world begin to come to life!

ACTING:

DomasArt Film School offers acting courses based on the methods and experiences of the great masters who revolutionized the art of acting: from Konstantin Stanislavski, Michael Chekhov, Lee Strasberg, Stella Adler, Sanford Meisner, Uta Hagen, David Mamet, to contemporary masters such as Ivana Chubbuck, Susan Batson, and Dominique De Fazio, and many others.

After exploring the methods and techniques of the great masters, what truly matters is a path that goes beyond methods and techniques.A path that guides you deeply into the search for authenticity, where the actor finally rediscovers freedom, truth, and feels alive within their own art.

Here is an overview of the main acting methods and techniques that will be studied, along with a brief description of their essential aspects.

Stanislavskij:

Naturalistic acting, realism.

Greater understanding of life processes.

Lee Strasberg:

Research and study of emotional memory.

Stella Adler:
Imagination beyond the emotional appeal, “drawing on the emotions that I have experienced”.

Meisner:
“Live truthfully under certain imaginary circumstances”.

And his famous exercise in repetition of one facing another.

Michael Chekhov:

A psycho-physical approach to acting, focusing on mind, body, and an awareness of the senses.

Practical Aesthetics:

Analysis of the scene in four phases; the actors are required to focus on what is literally happening in the scene and what is needed from the other characters.

Uta Hagen:

Realism and truth above all else; “Replacement” (or “transfer”) encourages the actors to substitute their own experiences and emotional memories for the specific circumstances of a scene.

Ivana Chubbuck:

Twelve steps to follow so as to get into character and make it alive.
Understand what the goal that the character wants and needs to obtain is, and the need to reach that goal that guides the actions of the character.

Susan Batson:
Show the actors how to prepare and which keys to use to create the life of a character, fully human, of extraordinary expressive greatness and in the name of the watchword “truth”.

Dominique De Fazio:
Teaching and giving the actor the necessary tools to become a “creative actor” while maintaining “authenticity” as a reference so that the artist can create original characters and scenes, thus breaking away from the usual patterns and methods.’

ART OF COMMUNICATION: 

It is not enough to turn the voice into a powerful instrument; it is necessary to find and discover that instinct, that intuition that guides us, and to refine it.

In this section of DomasArt Film School, you will explore the language that lives beyond words: the voice, the body, rhythm, gaze, and intention.
You will learn to make every message authentic, present, and capable of reaching and touching those who listen.
Communication thus becomes a journey of awareness and creativity, where technique and truth merge into a single expression.

1. Public Speaking
   You will transform fear into stage strength, learning to connect with those who listen to you. Through many exercises, you will improve your stage presence and discover how to capture and maintain the attention of your audience, speaking with confidence and authenticity.

2. Communication Techniques
   You will learn how to combine word, gesture, and listening into a harmonious and impactful language. You will discover how to express yourself with clarity and intensity, developing empathy, authority, and coherence between what you feel and what you communicate.

3. Improvising in Public
   The unexpected becomes a creative ally, a living space where anything can happen.You will learn to transform uncertainty into spontaneity, tension into energy, emptiness into creation. You will remain grounded in the here and now, able to react with clarity, freedom, and artistic intuition, turning every situation into something alive.

4. Voice & Diction
   The voice is in fact sound, but before that, it is vibration, which connects the speaker to the listener. In this path, you will learn how the voice can become a living substance, capable of giving depth, color, and emotional resonance to every word, until it transforms into a true instrument of presence, authenticity, and expressive power.
