Id liked very much following the lessons by Socrates Alafouzos because i understood my abilities and my deficiences as far as it concerns the theatre and either my life.
how he hears an actress and how he reads his body
Socrates has a unique way of seeing all the difficulties a student might be facing with his acting and help him overcome them. His observations and advice are always very accurate. With his classes you get to know your strengths and difficulties as an actor and be in a better position to chase your career and your dreams!!
He help me with my acting skills and also to have a different look in the role.
Socrates helped me find ways to discover the emotions of every role we worked together. He gave me valuable advice about acting.
