Michael Chekhov’s Approach to Theatre in Action: Scene Work 

Join actress, director and teacher Sarah Kane for an afternoon exploring Michael Chekhov’s approach to acting. 
 
Michael Chekhov developed an acting technique, a 'psycho-physical approach', in which transformation, working with impulse, imagination and inner and outer gesture are central.  
 
The three workshops offer an opportunity to investigate new ways of working on a scene by applying both the principles and practical tools Chekhov developed. 
 
Each workshop explores different aspects of the approach (e.g. atmosphere, gesture as relationship, text as gesture), building on the previous one.  
 
It is possible to participate in individual workshops.
