Chekhov-Lecoq International Studio of Acting & Movement trains and develops professional and aspiring actors. The Studio provides a curriculum of dynamic acting classes and intensives designed to open, strengthen, and liberate the actor's body and mind. Courses and workshops focus on the convergence of thorough physical and vocal training at all times connected to the emergence of character, the consistent playing of dramatic or comic action, and the revelation of images, thoughts, and feelings in improvisation or within a text. Clisam acting, movement and improv classes allow participants to bounce ideas off others, and expand creativity, while receiving constructive criticism. This feedback will help one analyze what works and what does not, as well as improve listening skills so one may better react during a scene. Clisam studio and teachers create the environment in which students can safely experiment and grow from the experiences without fear of humiliation or judgement. Clisam provides classes in Lecoq and Chekhov tecniques, as well as in improvisation, movement, Feldenkrais, that will enrich performances due to individualized and ispirational teaching. You are welcome to come and learn among professionals and friends in a safe, creative, and rewarding environment. Sign up for FREE Demo Classes.
