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

Let’s keep moving… with ease…keep radiating…
Let’s connect via online gatherings that demand of us even better connecting, even more imagination, even more concentration.
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 some of our busyness and be creative in a different way.

Conversations with My Character
Taught by Dawn Arnold
Four sessions Mondays 11 AM – 12:30 PM CT US via Zoom May 25 – June 15, 2020 Four sessions Mondays 6:30 - 8:00 PM CT US via Zoom June 1, 8, 15, and 29
Conversations with My Character will be focused on early stages of getting to know a character, working with imagination, and asking leading questions.
“What are you trying to tell me?” Encounter your character through visualization and imagination, asking our characters questions that get us into their world, their reality, their quest and their intentions. Though we are online, we will work with the whole body in explorations and connect with each other in sharing our discoveries and performing what we see in our imaginations.
Actors may choose to work with characters from plays, film/TV scripts, musicals, operas, or non-traditional sources such as novels or short stories.
Chekhov Technique will be brought into the explorations. Previous training in Chekhov technique is not required.
Class fee: Four sessions: $80/$72 w/Studio Membership* Drop-In: $25/$22 w/Studio Membership* (*Studio Membership is $100 for a year of discounted fees.)
