Online Technique Class with Lenard Petit & Emma Wade

Wednesdays 11:00am-1:00pm Eastern Time (US & Canada)

6 Sessions September 20th - October 25, 2023

In all the tools that Chekhov exposed to actors, one stands out as essential and all encompassing, every tool in the technique points to it, the Psychological Gesture. All tools go towards realizing it. The Psychological Gesture is like the flower of the Technique.

This class introduces actors to the Psychological Gesture and gives a means of "how" to approach, direct, create and incorporate it. This work includes a thorough investigation of the human body, the whole of it and its parts and how all of it stands in relation to sensation and impulses that motivate you the artist, towards physical expression before the public or the camera.
