We will work with image, tempo, form, and movement. The technique teaches us to rely on our physicality and our image life to give us insight into our characters, such as physicalizing our objectives so that they don’t remain an intellectual exercise, but instead are an embodied experience. Chekhov believed that inherent in every actor is the desire for transformation, and he set out a method that is playful, imaginative, safe, healthy, creative, and accessible to anyone truly looking to experience themselves differently. Sessions run Saturday and Sunday, 10:00am-3:30pm and Monday from 10:00am-1:00pm.
