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

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.

"The Art Of Transformation"

Psycho-Physical Exploration of the Character, Character Centers, Qualities of Movement, Atmospheres, Psychological Gesture, & Imaginary Body. Awaken the Expressive BODY Expand your Creative Imagination!

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."
