Saturday 12 April10am - 5.30pm
A sequence of Saturday monthly workshops
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 the movement and imagination of an actor and the character to be played.
Although the workshops are designed as a series and build from one to the next, 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

Sunday 13 April10am - 5.30pm
A sequence of Sunday monthly workshops
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 the workshops are designed as a series and one builds on to the previous one, each workshop is an entirety in itself and can be taken individually.

Please bring clothes and shoes suitable for the Chekhov workshops as a well as a piece of text such as a monologue or poem known by heart, so that it can be used in the exploration in practice of any aspect of the techniques.
