The Michael Chekhov Studio offers seminars, intensive acting workshops, classes, showcases, play and video production and networking opportunities. A great way for actors to learn the basics from how to act to how to promote yourself. The course covers auditions, commercials, monologues and scenes over the period of one year and includes on-camera classes. The first half of the class is activating the mind-body connection through exercises which prep your imagination and body to perform the material at hand in a state of peak performance. Then, we apply the work we have done to improvisation, monologues, cold reading or scenes.
All actors work in each class.
The fourth class of each month, we have on camera class, and we work with varying aspects of the actor's career needs. Often, actors work privately on occasion for personal career guidance- photos, resumes, agent hunting, networking etc. The atmosphere is extremely positive with an emphasis on awakening your innate gifts and learning how to share them within the needs of the moment-on the set or in the cold read, the commercial, etc. Class size is limited to a maximum of 14.
