Workshops
"As Michael [Chekhov]’s pupil, I learned more then
acting... Every time he spoke, the world seemed to become bigger and
more exciting... Acting became an art that increased your life and mind."
Marilyn Monroe

The Psychological Gesture
(Characterization I)
Rome, Italy, May
10-14, 2017
with:
Ulrich Meyer-Horsch, Hamburg,
Germany
Alessandra Felli, Rome, Italy (assistant)
The
Psychological Gesture is probably the most famous tool of Michael
Chekhov’s acting technique. It is a psycho-physical movement that
awakens the actor’s inner life. It serves as a key to the essential
features of the character and enables the actor to express and embody
the character’s objectives.
Stirring our will power, the
Psychological Gesture gives the will a definite direction, awakens
feelings, and gives us a condensed version of the character and
his/her relationships.

Body
– Imagination – Emotion
Making Contact with Living Images
Tel Aviv, Israel, July 24-29, 2017
with:
Suzana Nikolic, Zagreb, Croatia
David Zinder, Tel Aviv, Israel
Jörg Andrees, Berlin, Germany
Our lives make a difference when
we connect, when we make contact. In order to make our work on stage
authentic and alive, we need to get into contact with both our inner
images and our emotions within seconds.
Images are the core of the
actor's creativity, the fuel of ideas and emotions. How do we create
images? And how do we embody images, make them physical, so that we
can share them with the audience?

Listening to your Character
Izmir/Sirince, Turkey, August 7-13, 2017
with:
Ulrich Meyer-Horsch, Hamburg, Germany
Erdem Senocak,
Sirince, Turkey
Creating a character from a play starts with
listening: Listening to the inner images surrounding the actor as
living beings, listening to the author’s text and the given
circumstances of the scene, listening to the space, listening to my
artistic self as actor, listening to the audience and to the needs of
our time… What does it mean to give up our “daily-life ego“ and follow
the character? It’s an expedition into the unknown, an exciting
adventure.

The Architecture of Performance
Groznjan (Istria),
Croatia, August 21-27, 2017
with:
Anne Gottlieb,
Boston, USA
Jesper Michelsen, Copenhagen, Denmark
Suzana
Nikolic, Zagreb, Croatia
Ulrich Meyer-Horsch, Hamburg, Germany
Improvisation as Art is the core of the creative process. It
includes curiosity to take risks, to open up for the unknown and
surprising as well as the skill to shape the given material – may it
be text, movement, music or space. Creating and rehearsing a play,
choreography or a musical score, needs a strong sense for Rhythm and
Tempo.
This is where Composition comes into play. “In nature and
art, there are mathematical laws and principles that structure and
balance form.” (Mala Powers) This Feeling for Composition creates
contours and gives the expression of ideas, dialogues, movements,
shapes and colours a deeper meaning and visible form.

Communion with the Audience
Giving – Receiving – Sharing
Hamburg, Germany,
October 24-28, 2017
Olivia Rüdinger, Ulrich Meyer-Horsch,
Jan Oberndorff
Whatever we create on stage, we are creating
not for ourselves but for others: for the audience. We want to give.
“What is it that we in the theatre give? Instead of images on canvas
or in the form of statuary or music, we give our body, voice,
feelings, will, imagination – we give a form of pulsating art to life
itself.” (M.Chekhov) When developing a production or a piece – what
are your intentions and aims? What are the questions of your audience?
What do you have to give to them? Do you enjoy giving? Are you
generous?
