Capturing and Using Images
Tuesdays Jan 20 – Feb 24, 2026
11am – 1pm ET or 4pm – 6pm Irish Time
$175 Can or 110€.
6 weeks
For the next six classes we are going to take a deep dive into developing the imagination; harvesting and capturing images for character, atmosphere and situation, to enrich our work; be it for film, theatre, auditions or self taping.
This is important for not only developing acting skills, but all creative work.
Working online gives the artist time and space to really develop their skills to both look inward at their own process and look outward to their scene partners.
Tutors Rena Polley and Max Hafler have extensive experience in working both online and in-the-room.
If you wish to book for these classes you can apply to Rena at michaelchekhovcanada@gmail.com
or Max on chekhovtpi@gmail.com
We suggest that if you are in Canada you pay Rena and if you are in Europe you can pay Max in euro
Every Moment Counts.
Finding Significance for Character
Jan24th – Galway Ireland
2nd in a series of One Day Acting Workshops in Galway.
With Max Hafler and Roberta Nolan
Chekhov Training and Performance Ireland.
Michael Chekhov told his students, “I want to awaken the significance of everything you do onstage”. Everything we do onstage has to mean something, it needs to carry some weight, even in a realistic play, where a character is going about their everyday business. Of course, some moments are more significant than others, but in a work of art, everything matters. These significant moments may be found in your text, your scene partner or the situation the characters are in, but there is something important to remember that, however subtly, you are sharing with the audience.
There is a skill to this. Through one focussed day we hope you can, through exercises, and working on a scene start to consider the importance of making the most of every moment.
Max and Roberta both trained at the Michael Chekhov Association and have decades of experience in teaching the Michael Chekhov Technique . Check out the www.chekhovtrainingandperformanceireland.com
Booking is open for our one day workshop.
Cost for the day 55€ 30€ concessions
