SUMMER ACTING WORKSHOPS
MICHAEL CHEKHOV TECHNIQUE
My name is Masha Ponmarie — I’m an actress, director, and acting teacher. I graduated from Russian Institute of Theatre Arts and the International Michael Chekhov Academy under the guidance of Berlin-based teacher Joerg Andreas.
Joerg’s goal was to pass on the technique in its purest form, just as Michael Chekhov himself conceived it.
My goal at his academy was to absorb the method as precisely as possible.
Now, I want to create a safe and creative space for you - a place where you can explore both the tools of the method and yourself through ease and play.
Since this is a technique, your previous experience truly doesn’t matter. You’ll feel at ease in a mixed group of professionals and people from other fields.
Why is this for you?
• You will learn how to return to a confident, working state — no matter the circumstances.
• You’ll develop a sense of inner freedom.
• You’ll become more sensitive to works of art, to nature, to other people. You’ll find yourself looking at the world more often through the lens of creativity - like in childhood.
• You’ll understand how to make your presence felt. You’ll develop your charisma and learn how to turn it on when needed.
• You’ll awaken both your imagination and your body.
• Professional actors will be able to immediately apply the tools of the technique to their work - in auditions, on set, or in rehearsals.
• Directors will learn how to support actors more gently and precisely in bringing their ideas to life.
What will we do?
• Psychophysical training
• Attention and concentration exercises
• Imagination development exercises
• Step-by-step exploration of the method’s tools
• Creative generation of feelings
• Play
• Draw
• Improvise
And at the end?
At the end of summer, we will present a mini-performance with your monologues.
PRICE FOR ONE WORKSHOP – 30€
