WHAT IS PEM?The Perdekamp Emotional Method PEM – developed and designed by German director and playwright Stephan Perdekamp – is an innovative acting method based on a biological process.
PEM provides performers with a direct, effortless and repeatable access to authentic emotions on a purely physical basis, without recourse to personal experiences or emotional memory.
Its organic and fast approach grants security, flexibility and reliability in the professional careers of actors, singers, dancers and other performers and works with an unheard-of simplicity and effectiveness in creating emotional depth and expressiveness.PEM is also a tool to connect young actors to emotions beyond their personal experience to provide them with a wider range of emotional expression.PEM is a way to explore acting beyond the personal, historical and cultural scope of our modern society.
It enables an understanding and awareness of the human condition that is bigger than our personal experience, making actors more versatile and intense at the same time.PEM is a fundamental acting tool that ensures the skillful, exact and instant use of authentic emotions.HOW WAS PEM DEVELOPED?Stephan Perdekamp developed PEM over a 10-year period of research, which still continues.
Theatrical experiments helped define the applicability and effectiveness of the method in the Performing Arts.
The process and its technical and educational aspect was repeatedly reviewed by psychologists and therapists to create a method that is safe, user-friendly and free from exploiting the artistic soul.Browse the latest online courses & know the acting techniques in Melbourne at PEM Studios.
