Michael Chekhov Europe Training Workshops 2022
COVID19 – general information
with: The Psychological Gesture 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. It is extremely useful for the work in front of the camera. • MCE Training module 3 / Chekhov International Spring School at SfSH

The summer school will include MCE Training module 6: The Architecture of Performance.
Communion with the Audience Tel Aviv, Israel, July/August 2022 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? • MCE Training module 5 / costs: 450,-- € / 420,-- €

Building a Character: ‘Me’ is the Other “All true artists bear within themselves a deeply rooted and often unconscious desire for transformation.” (M. Chekhov) The “Other”, i.e. the character in a play, is always bigger than the personal experience of the performer. Michael Chekhov therefore asks us to look at the differences between the character and ourselves rather than at the similarities. If we dive into the inner and outer world of this other person, we will discover a whole new world. • Faculty to be announced More workshops are planned in: International faculty and guest teachers: The complete Training Programme is also taught at: Schule für Schauspiel Hamburg / Chekhov International School (Germany); StudioChekhov Croatia (Zagreb); Yeditepe University Istanbul (Turkey); and ITI Singapore |
