Quote Summer Student:
Thank you so much for the
beautiful opportunity and all the wonderful memories!
I recently finished "Anna in the Tropics" at FIU
and I could never have tackled the role of Ofelia
(a 50 year old Cuban Woman) without
the skills I developed at your school! I hope
we can work together again very soon ! Also, many
of my classmates are very interested in your Summer
Intensive after seeing the transformation the
six of us had last summer.

Michael Chekhov for the Actor
Classes is Chekhov Technique of Acting
"The essence of our profession ... is to give. What is it that we in the theater give? ... We give our body, voice, feelings, will, imagination – we give a form of pulsating art to life itself; we give it to our characters and we give it to our audiences. Nothing, absolutely nothing remains for us save the pleasure of having given pleasure. And yet it is only by this miraculous process that our love grows and our talent is fulfilled and replenished."
–– Michael Chekhov |

Uncle Anton & his Nephew Michael
The text: The Three sisters
Application: Michael Chekhov Technique
This class will explore Michael Chekhov's "psycho-physical" approach to acting, through the basic principles and exercises outlined in Chekhov's book "To the Actor," including psycho/physical exercises, character work and ensemble improvisation. Each class begins with a warm-up specifically designed to develop the organic connection between the actor's inner life, creative imagination and expressive body.
Through the rigorous practice of Chekhov's core exercises students will explore; Radiating and Receiving, Archetypes, Imaginary Centers, Imaginary body, Character Atmospheres, Overall scenic Atmospheres, Qualities of Movement, Imaginary Palace, and Psychological Gesture, along with on camera adjustments and more & Chekhov's technique consists of a wide variety effective acting tools, which can inspire endless possibilities for enlarging the actor's creativity and artistic expression - the actor can then bring this sensibility to the creation of a character, exploration of the text, and inspired performance. |

Summer Theater Intensive |
"My experience
at the Summer Theater
Intensive was
incredible . I learned
so many things not only
about the dramatic craft
but about myself, too.
I experienced how to
"let go" and be. I am
a big fan of Williamson
technique and Michael
Chekhov technique. Catherine
Fitzmaurice was also
very helpful, I learned
all these amazing exercises
which help me open my
voice even more."

SUMMER THEATER INTENSIVE
Students
"The Actors
Movement Studio Summer
Theater Intensive
was a unique experience
because not only did
it allow me to tap
into emotional resources
I had not previously
explored, but it also
provided a one-of-a-kind
bonding experience
that has yet to be
repeated. I am fascinated
by Michael Chekov
technique and I still
use viewpoints in
my current projects.
It was a pleasure
to play Oscar Wilde
in the Salon because
not only did it give
me a chance to really
perform, but it also
gave me the opportunity
to learn a lot about
what went on in the
personal life of a
genius whose work
is a classic and a
must for everyone
who's interested in
theater and life in
general. My experience
that summer is one
I could not speaking
of for several months
after it was over
and it is one that
I still think of when
people ask me for
recommendations for
where to spend their
summer."

"The most outstanding value of a Period Style class is that it produces actors that move and live within the style of a period with total truthfulness, vocal freedom, physical grace and ease. Actors learn to create an expansive character free fro the limits of their everyday physical and vocal habits. Immersed in the circumstances of the place and time of an era, the actors as an ensemble create an imaginary world. This Fall they will become Edwardians living in the opulent era of the Belle Epoch" said Janice Orlandi, co-artistic director of Actors Movement Studio.

Anna Sokolow
"Anna Sokolow is the mentor who to this day remains the mother of my artistic soul. From my work with Dramatic Movement for actors with Anna, I discovered the aesthetics of movement, and the expressive beauty of another Art. For Anna, movement must grow from the actor's inner experience. She taught actors how to awaken the inner experience by listening to their entire bodies, and to other artists: musicians, composers and poets, (which for me expanded to include, painters, singers and dancers)."
--Loyd Williamson
In the 1930s, Sokolow began giving classes to the Group Theatre, and she continued to work with actors as well as dancers until the very last years of her life. In the 1940s and '50s, she worked with Elia Kazan at the Actors Studio, and in 1958, she began decades of teaching actors and dancers at the Juilliard Dance Division. "My first aim is to free the actor from his self-consciousness," she once commented. "I make him forget about the clichŽs about having to smoke, to touch or handle something.... It may seem to the actor that he is learning how to move and how to use his body, but what he really learns is to be simple, honest and human."
