Imagine it. See it. Be it.
Michael Chekhov Project playshops with The Cohen Brothers:
(Certified Chekhov Teachers)
Find out why so many experienced actors are embracing the Chekhov technique in order to further develop their craft and grow as artists.
With this technique, the actor learns how to consider his body as an instrument for expressing his creative imagination. Chekhov's practical approach enables actors to tap into their active imaginations and creative impulses . The result is inspired acting. This workshop will emphasize Chekhov's concepts of Qualities of Movement, Psychological Gesture, Imaginary Body, Centers, Atmospheres and more. MCP's ensemble style creates a safe and fun environment for actors to learn and explore together.
? The technique of acting can never be properly understood without practicing it. ?
