Drop in on 5-week introduction to the Michael Chekhov Technique with certified instructor Elizabeth Townsend. This weapon in an actor's arsenal is a acting method developed by Michael Chekhov, focusing on the connection between inner life and outer movement. It utilizes imagination to create transformative, authentic performances. It emphasizes using movement, archetypes, and "psychological gestures" to unlock emotion, bypassing intellectual, "method" acting in favor of physical embodiment. Students will work weekly for 5 weeks on simple acting exercises to unlock more truthful, authentic performances.
