MICHAEL CHEKHOV ACTING WORKSHOPS
A technique that strengthens the actor's talent and skills like no other.
THE POWER OF INNER MOVEMENT
January 24th - 25th,
at 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM
When working with PSYCHO-PHYSICAL acting method like the Michael Chekhov technique, the actor draws on the character's energy and physique, which informs them about the character's behavior, point of veiw, and emotional life. Through MOVEMENT and IMAGINATION, the actor discovers the character's psychological state and inner life. These discoveries cannot come from the mind alone, as the body holds a higher wisdom and creative abilities.
We explore the effective psycho-physical methods of acting inspired by Michael Chekhov, where body and imagination create access to the character and strengthen the actor's artistic possibilities. You will discover greater potential and more freedom in your work as an actor. The course is aimed at both film actors and theater actors.
Anyone who wants to work professionally with acting can participate. There is a limited number of participants so that everyone gets something valuable out of participating.

Experience & Acting Methods
I AM A NERD!! I have trained as an actor through years of exploring different acting techniques from physical theater to film acting. In recent years, I have trained with some of the world's leading teachers of the Michael Chekhov Technique, which I find has brought me closest to the art of acting.
For a long time I tried to learn Method Acting both in London and New York, but it never came naturally to me. In fact, I began to doubt my talent, thinking acting wasn't for me. When I was introduced to the Meisner technique and especially Michael Chekhov, the my passion returned.
I am a great believer in actors taking good care of themselves and their mental health by learing to set boundries and use methods to step out of of the character after a day at work.
THE AIM OF ANY ACTING TECHNIQUE is to have a way to access the personality and emotional life of a character. Some say that the character does not ecxist, but there is always a vision of a character the actor must do their best to incorporate and portray.
When using a PSYCHO-PHYSICAL acting method like the Michael Chekhov technique we draw upon the energy and physicality of the character, which will inform the actor of points of views and emotional life.
Through MOVEMENT and IMAGINATION the actor discovers the psychological state and inner life of the character. These discoveries can not come from thought alone as the body holds a higher wisdom and creative ability.
I teach with great respect for the individual, creating a safe atmosphere with a strong sense of ensemble and joy for the work.
Recommendations
"I can definitely recommend Michelle as a personal tutor and teacher. You can immediately tell that she knows what she's talking about and she's also good at motivating and inspiring you as a student. Even though you're presented with a lot of new techniques and challenges, you always feel comfortable in Michelle's presence, as she's a warm and highly skilled teacher."
Nicolai Hansen, Danish actor
"I took one of my first acting classes with Michelle, which was a safe and positive experience that really helped my development. Later, she was instrumental in helping me get my first international agent, which has opened many doors for me in my career. I have been saving with Michelle on a regular basis, which has been very rewarding for me.

Michelle is a great coach, who sees the very personal potential of the artist. She supports and encourages them to find and empower their own acting personality by giving the right interaction between space, tips, technique and honest support!
