Training in Michael Chekhov Acting Technique
Ongoing training in the Michael Chekhov Acting Technique is taught in year round sessions of classes, weekend intensives, and special workshops.
“As soon as we begin to develop our bodies, voices, and emotions, we begin to get our professional actor’s technique, and as soon as we have our technique, we can start the creative process - and what will it be?” Michael Chekhov

Workshop Venue:
Let’s keep moving… with ease…keep radiating…
Let’s connect via online gatherings, connecting, imagining, growing.
Let’s make a creative, inspiring, safe, beautiful, and vital space right where we are now.
Let’s find life in our artistic practice that can serve us as self-care and be adapted to healing ourselves and others.
Let’s find new, interesting creative goals for now.
Let’s take steps in artistic self-development now that we have a moment to pause and be creative in new ways.
One year ago – last April and May – we invited actors from all over the world to join us as we gathered online to explore how our artistic practice could also be a holistic practice – Chekhov during difficult times. Check out some of the sessions on Vimeo:

This eight week exploration of the Michael Chekhov Acting Technique will connect you to your expressive self in new, deeper ways while inviting you to write what you have to say in this moment of time.
Each week you will discover more of your story or poem or lyric that has been waiting for you to speak. Share your words with your three abilities – thinking, feeling, and willing to convey your meaning. There is no demand for homework and no pressure to perform. We will enjoy a shared yet intimate experience of listening, discovering, and expressing.
