The Foundations of Michael Chekhov’s approach to acting
A sequence of three one-day workshops
Creating Character with Sarah Kane
These one-day workshops provide an opportunity to explore practically the core elements of the truly artistic acting techniques developed by Russian actor Michael Chekhov in the middle of the twentieth century. Chekhov’s approach aims to inspire and empower actors for their future work by building a living and sensitive bridge between an actor’s movement and imagination and the character to be played.
The workshops are designed as a series and build from one to the next; at the same time each workshop is an entirety in itself and can be taken individually.
'Imagination is the real, eternal world, of which this vegetable universe is but a faint shadow'. - William Blake

With the help of the imagination, we will explore the physical attributes of the character in both the monologue you bring and in a scene that you will meet in the workshop.Saturday 14 June
THE IMAGINARY CENTRE
With the help of the imagination, we will explore
the inner aspects of the character in both the monologue you bring and in a scene that you will meet in the workshop.Saturday 19 July
THE PSYCHOLOGICAL GESTURE

Sunday 20 July10am - 5pm
Rudolf Steiner’s Approach to Artistic Speech
with Sarah Kane
These one-day workshops provide an opportunity to explore practically the core elements of the artistic speech techniques developed by Rudolf Steiner at the beginning of the twentieth century. The approach aims to bring what an actor speaks to life by exploring where we might find the life of words themselves. The approach can inspire and empower actors for their work by building a living and sensitive bridge between an actor’s inner life and the words a character speaks.
Although these workshops are designed as a series and one builds on to the previous one, each workshop is an entirety and can be taken individually.
Sunday 18 May
Finding the Individuality of a Character I: Consonants and Vowels
We will explore the sounds that can be found in the text or texts a character speaks to begin the process of discovering the individuality of the character.
Sunday 15 June
Finding the Individuality of a Character II: Speech Gestures
We will explore the gestures that we find in a monologue that you bring and in a scene that you will meet in the workshop.
Sunday 20 July
Individualising a Character III: Gestures and Sounds
Working with both sound and gesture the workshop will investigate how to create the vocal individuality of the character both for a monologue that you bring and a scene which you will meet in the workshop.
Please bring clothes and shoes suitable for movement as well as a piece of text such as a monologue known by heart, so that it can be used in the exploration in practice of any aspect of the techniques.
Workshop Fees:
1 workshop day: £55 / 3 workshops: £150Book here: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/rudolf-steiner-house/e-ddmdab

Sunday 27 July2pm - 5pm
with Dr Sue Peat and Douglas Davidson
Biodynamics is an organic method of cultivation arising out of Rudolf Steiner’s Spiritual research. It was his response to questions from farmers who were unhappy with ‘chemical’ agriculture. Biodynamics works with the rhythms of the movements of the Sun, Moon, planets and stars, to which the plants respond. The workshop will cover the background to the biodynamic planting calendar and using the biodynamic preparations. It’s coming up to summer, a time when the results of our endeavours begin to flower and fruit, and biodynamics comes into its own. The workshop will include presentations of research that demonstrate the benefits that biodynamics brings to the environment, the soil, the plants and to improvements in food quality.
For the last hour, we’ll stir the horn manure preparation (known as 500), so bring an empty screw top bottle if you would like to take some home. A 500ml bottle is enough for an average garden. The workshop is suitable for those new to biodynamics and for anyone who would like to give their garden, window boxes or house plants a summer treat!
Sue and Douglas are enthusiastic gardeners with lots of practical experience of biodynamic gardening.
All welcome, no need to book.
