Michael Chekhov:
The main point of Eva's individual project about Michael Chekhov was that you need to develop. Develop into your character and develop AS a character so that you see and understand your character more.
He basically pushes his students outside the box to expand their idea of acting-- not just their acting in general, but everything they thought to be true about acting and the stage. He pushes the boundaries out a little bit farther.
We had to define ourselves.
REdefine ourselves.
And define ourselves again.
Define ourselves by our actions, by our gestures, by our connections.
Chekhov is all about KNOWING yourself and your character.
And using that, manipulating it to work for your needs on stage.
