Description:

Bring Chekhov’s ideals of imagination, impulse, and structure together in your Shakespeare work. Join Producing Artistic Director Peter G. Andersen and Company Member Lucas Prizant for an exploration of the Michael Chekhov technique applied to Shakespeare’s rhetoric.

Using Chekhov’s psychophysical tools, actors will investigate Hermogenes’ seven modes of speech: Clarity, Grandeur, Beauty, Rapidity, Character, Sincerity, and Force, key elements Shakespeare relied on in his soliloquies. Leave with a deeper understanding of rhetorical devices and embodied techniques you
can use consistently to energize your classical acting.
