Michael Chekhov Technique

The Michael Chekhov Technique is a method of acting that emphasizes inner imagination and psychological awareness to create authentic performances. It encourages actors to develop a vivid inner world, using imagination, physicality, and emotional memory to connect with their characters. Techniques include "psychological gestures"—specific movements that evoke feelings—and "imaginary circumstances" to deepen understanding. By focusing on creative visualization and emotional unity between mind and body, actors can deliver more genuine, spontaneous, and compelling performances. Overall, it fosters a rich internal life that translates naturally to the stage or screen.
