4 WEEK CLASS IN CREATING A CHARACTER
November 11 - December 9, 2020
Wednesdays, 11am - 1pm ET

Actors often complain they get typecast and end up playing themselves over and over again. This workshop
will look at how actors can transform themselves and create different characters using the tools of the
Michael Chekhov technique as well as improvising from the imagination.
Be prepared to play!
6 WEEK CLASS IN PSYCHOLOGICAL GESTURE*
November 10 - December 15, 2020
Tuesdays, 11am - 1pm ET
*this class is recommended for those who have experience in the technique
The Psychological Gesture is based on a single concept – behind everything we say or do there is a
movement or gesture. We will be exploring different archetypical gestures attached to the will of the
character. The Psychological Gesture gives the will a definite direction, awakens feelings and desires,
and can help unlock the primal core of the character.

"In our technique there are no purely physical exercises, all exercises are psycho-physical.
The outer physical action awakens an inner psychological response"
