  • Saturday 30 March
    10am - 5pm

    A sequence of one-day workshops running from September 2023 – July 2024

    with Sarah Kane

    The one-day workshops planned for weekends at Rudolf Steiner House in 2023 and 2024 aim to provide an overview over the core elements of Michael Chekhov’s acting technique that he continued to develop throughout his life.  They range from the very beginnings of any serious artistic research and exploration to the finer points of developing a stage life and creating character, including the character’s psychological gesture.

    Each workshop will be an entirety in itself and can be taken individually; priority will be given to those wishing to enrol in the three groups of workshops ( September – December, January – March, April – July) and in the entire series. 

    Please bring clothes and shoes suitable for movement as a well as a piece of text such as a monologue or poem known by heart, so that it can be used in the exploration of any aspect of the technique in practice.

    Part 1: THE IMAGINATION
    September - December 2023

    In the first four sessions, we explored ways we can engage with our imagination as an essential pillar in Michael Chekhov’s approach to the actor’s creative process.

    Part 2: FROM MOVEMENT TO GESTURE
    January - April

    These three sessions explore the other ‘pillar’ of Michael Chekhov’s technique, the intimate and immediate link between movement and an actor’s psychology, to help with the process of transforming into character:

    Words and Text as Movement and Gesture
    Saturday 30 March* 10am - 5pm

    Inspired by Rudolf Steiner’s development of the art of eurythmy and then his lectures on speech for the stage in 1923, Chekhov’s approach also includes exploration of text first as movement, then as gesture.

    *Previously 20th April

    TICKETS AVAILABLE HERE or in person at the Bookshop (on the day)

    Part 3: CREATING CHARACTER
    May - June (Dates to be confirmed)

    Three sessions:
    The Imaginary Body
    The Imaginary Centre
    The Psychological Gesture
