TH 432 - The Michael Chekhov Technique

Credits: 4
Spring

This advanced acting course centers on the acting technique of Michael Chekhov and employs his “psycho-physical” approach to the craft of acting. Working via movement and the body’s inherent capacity to experience space, direction, and image, students explore the actor’s impulse to transform. Psycho-physical exercises are employed to introduce students to the foundational work and, from this platform, discoveries are then applied to group and solo scripted work as well as scenes.
