BUILDING A CHARACTER:
’ME’ IS THE OTHER
Transformation into the Character
“All true artists bear within themselves a deeply rooted and often unconscious desire for transformation.” (Michael Chekhov)
When children play games, we can observe this desire to transform and to change – they lose themselves in play and fully commit themselves to another world. The “Other” (i.e. the character in a play) is always bigger than the personal experience of the performer. Michael Chekhov therefore asks us to look at the differences between the character and ourselves rather than at the similarities. If we dive into the inner and outer experience of this other person, we will discover a whole new world. We will find ourselves in a new light.
Breath and Movement of the Character
In this workshop we will explore the natural flow of our breath and how it creates bold characters through movement. Participants will experience the connection between inner images, natural breathing and emotional authenticity, and will learn how to create truthful characters in playful settings.
