“Michael Chekhov Technique is concerned with expressive production, repetition, and consistency film acting requires the actor to be in agreement with the shot. The Close up, the Medium, and the Long Shot . This workshop will focus on the scale of your acting for these shots with use of Michael Chekhov’ s practical acting technique known as the “Psychological Gesture”. How to do it, when to do it, and where to do it. This tool engages the totality of the actor”. Lenard Petit
We’ll study some scenes from the most famous movie, with the camera.
We’ll give you the text to learn. If we’ll have more time, you can propose one scene.In the morning we’ll work on the thecnique, particularly the “psychological gesture”, in the afternoon we’ll work with the cameras. We try to have some monitors so the class can follow the work of actors on stage.
