Michael Chekhov’s acting technique offers a dynamic, imaginative approach to character and text. Rather than drawing from personal experience, Chekhov invites actors to create vivid inner worlds using tools like Psychological Gesture, Atmosphere, and Imaginary Body, to move beyond personal experience into bold, embodied choices. In this Level 1 class, students explore Chekhov’s foundational exercises and principles to unlock creativity, transformation, and emotional freedom, valuable for actors at any level.
