In this 4-week course, students will learn the fundamentals of the Michael Chekhov Technique and directly apply them towards scenes from Anton Chekhov's Seagull, Uncle Vanya, Three Sisters, and/or Cherry Orchard. We will explore bedrock principles such as Psychological Gesture, Focal Points, Qualities of Movement, Tempo/Rhythm, Imaginary Body, and many other tools on Chekhov’s “Chart of Inspired Action.” The final class will culminate in a showcase/presentation that will be filmed.
This short documentary will give you a sense of what to expect: THE SISTERS PROJECT.
