The Michael Chekhov Technique is a full, comprehensive technique that requires time and practice. And yet, it is so helpful & practical that aspects of the technique can be put to use immediately to expand and enhance any performance.
There are many different tools within the technique to explore. Each level of workshop offered here is an opportunity to awaken and deepen your experience of the technique. The tools practiced in one workshop are not more important than those of another. According to Chekhov, to profoundly study one tool, is to study them all.
