Facilitator / Acting Coach

In November 2025, H. Sven Fernandez led an extraordinary masterclass at the Omnia institute of Espoo aimed at empowering actors to become master storytellers. Drawing inspiration from Federico Fellini's 1965 film "Giulietta Degli Spiriti", participants embarked on a transformative journey to refine their skills and elevate their craft.

This immersive experience delved into the essence of storytelling, emphasizing the projection of emotions, feelings, and thoughts as paramount to the spoken word. By unraveling the core concepts of the original storyline, participants learned to weave a rich tapestry of expression, transcending mere dialogue to convey profound narratives through their physical and emotional presence on stage.

Sven instilled in the participants the liberating mantra of "rather asking for forgiveness than permission", urging them to stake their claim on the stage with unapologetic confidence. This approach empowered performers to embrace their creative autonomy and unleash their expressive capacity, harnessing the raw power of their bodies and minimizing reliance on external elements such as props and words.

The masterclass culminated in a profound exploration of emotional embodiment through individual performance projects, equipping participants with the tools to captivate audiences and leave an indelible impression. Aspiring and seasoned performers alike were inspired to embrace their artistic sovereignty and unleash the boundless potential within them.

This masterclass transcended boundaries and resonated with every individual seeking to harness the transformative power of storytelling, embodying the ethos of creative liberation and expressive authenticity.
