Workshop “Becoming the Character: Beyond the Script, Into the Soul” Biems Theater UBM Ancol Campus 2026

Jakarta, October 29, 2026 – The Student Activity Unit (UKM) Biems Theater, Bunda Mulia University (UBM) Ancol Campus, held a theater workshop entitled “ Becoming the Character: Beyond the Script, Into the Soul ”, at the UBM Seminar Room. This activity provided a forum for students to develop their acting skills and understand the process of character building in a theatrical performance. This workshop was attended by UBM students from various study programs with diverse backgrounds and experiences who were interested in the field of performing arts.

The workshop featured Reinaldo Sugiarta, a director and theater practitioner who has been involved in various productions at the Jakarta Arts Building and Miss Tjitjih Arts Building. In the presentation and practice sessions, participants were invited to understand the characters in greater depth, starting from their background, motivation, personality, and the conflicts experienced. This understanding was then applied through the exploration of expressions, gestures, body posture, intonation, and emotional responses in acting. Through hands-on exercises, participants gained experience in building authentic character interpretations and bringing characters to life not only based on the script, but also through understanding the characters’ emotions and personalities.

Through this workshop, Biems Theater hopes that students can further develop their creativity, self-confidence, and ability to explore characters in the world of performing arts. This activity is also expected to strengthen togetherness among students who have an interest in theater while encouraging them to continue working and developing their potential. In line with the theme “ Beyond the Script, Into the Soul ,” participants are expected to be able to present more authentic characters and add meaning to every performance on stage.
