Michael Chekhov Exercises!

3/31/2020

Michael Chekhov is one of my favorite theatre practitioners. I love his books, his exercises, his theories--it's all great!

The Tube of You has a lot of amazing resources regarding Michael Chekhov. Here are my favorites:

This man is adorable. His name is Graham Dixon, and his cute accent and lovely British cottage is enough to make you want to move to the UK and be his assistant. PLUS, his videos are incredibly informative. You can find his videos here!
There’s a phenomenal Chekov teacher/actor/director in LA, a Finnish woman named Marjo-Riikka Makela, who’s now (because of Corona) giving FREE online classes every Sunday. You can find her videos here!
Lastly, if you're interested in learning more about Michael Chekhov's life and how he got his start, including his training with Grandfather Stanislavsky, you can check out this documentary here.

I'm. So. Excited.

The ACTIVE ACTOR

You are probably wondering this blog is about. Well, it's about anything that everything that I find inspiring, helpful, and curiosity building.

Curiosity is my favorite state of being, and I've become a treasure hunter and a trash hoarder, collecting all sorts of articles, artwork, and accessories that fuel my inspiration and creativity.

This will also be a place for me to document my life as an actor and coach in Los Angeles. If performing is your passion, I hope that this blog becomes a place for you to learn from my mistakes, grow from my accomplishments, laugh at my witless choices, and share in this crazy, unpredictable, beautiful, life in the arts.
