THe miCHAel CHeKHOV TeCHnIQUe:
A PsYcHoPHYsIcAL APPROACH TO ACTInG
The Chekhov approach to acting is based on the understanding that the human being's physical, mental, & energetic lives are interwoven. Therefore we engage the body and spark the imagination to give us a new experience of ourselves, which leads to strong inner activity and transformation.

THe STUDIO AT 138 WeST 15tH ST...
...has a long lineage of Chekhov Training.
There are photos of my teachers Ted Pugh and Fern Sloan in the mid 80's leading a class when the studio was cinder blocks and plywood. I was a student of Lenard Petit's in this studio in the early 2000's when it finally had wood on the floor and paint on the walls. There are gestures embedded in the walls and discoveries and inspirations woven into the curtains.
My teachers were Joanna Merlin, Ted Pugh, and Fern Sloan, as well as Lenard Petit and Dawn Arnold. In the last 8 years I was assistant to Joanna where we taught at NYU Tisch Grad Acting, as well as The Actors' Center, at Chekhov Studio NYC, and for The Michael Chekhov Association, where I've been on faculty since 2014. In this same studio, I co-taught and managed the Chekhov Studio for Lenard 2008 - 2014.
On the shoulders of Giants...

It is with great honor and privilege that I am now able to provide Chekhov training in this space to all those who are curious.
