The Chekhov work is vital as it gently forces actors to connect to impulse, discovery, and expression in a more dynamic and truthful way. Having worked with both Lisa and Wil for over 10 years, I know of nobody else who teaches the technique with greater knowledge, passion, and joy. You will leave their workshops and classes prepared, deeply satisfied, and full of light.

...this Michael Chekhov Institute was one of the most valuable sessions I have taken on my sabbatical. The course content was substantive and wide-ranging. My experience was nothing short of life changing and has inspired me to personally utilize the technique with my own acting, my teaching, performance evaluating and directing using the precepts and principles of the Michael Chekhov approach.

19th Annual Michael Chekhov

Summer Theatre Institute

University of Southern Maine, Gorham (Portland), Maine

 

NMCA, Inc. has decided to move the Annual Chekhov Summer Theatre Institute to Portland Maine. The course will be hosted by University of Southern Maine at Gorham July 1 - 7, 2012.
 
"This returns to our origins," reports Lisa Dalton, President of NMCA, Inc. "We began the Theatre Institute at USM in 1994 and held it there for many years before moving to Texas."
 
The Theatre Institute will be the same as what we've held in Texas for the past several summers and what we are doing in January at UTA. Check the details of the Institute on those links in the story above and watch for news of this Institute here.

The Institute is one of these exceptional and transformational moments in one's life. The 7 days were incredibly intense, filled with discoveries and realizations I've kept in my heart forever.

Lisa Dalton is an exceptionally talented teacher. I have never met anyone else who could so accurately identify and clear the blocks in the way to your highest performance. She has a gift and can clearly see what your personal issues are; and is also able to give you the tools to overcome them, yet doing this with joy and fun.

Wil Kilroy is also a joy to work with, and a caring, compassionate and centered person who will give you complete support, guidance and encouragement in your self-discovery.

I highly recommend it to any actor, but especially to professional actors who want to recharge their inspiration and reach their highest potential.
