The mask for us becomes the role we play; the character as distinct from our everyday selves. As actors we use the mask of character to create our own individuality that lives onstage. How is that done? What is the process? Michael Chekhov takes the actor through the transformation step by step and reveals how simply yet detailed this process is. Discover the psychology of the character, the life they lead, through your imagination and the images you create.</span></b></span></font></div><div><br></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; "><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; "><b>November 2020-22 Auditioning with Chekhov: An Imaginative Approach</b></span></b></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; "><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; "><b></b>Auditioning is a lifelong process for the actor and a very specific skill.
