Michael Chekhov Technique: The Fundamentals
WEEKEND WORKSHOP · Oct 24 & 25, 2026 · 2:00pm - 6:00 pm Saturday / 12:00pm - 5:00pm Sunday
Class Overview:
Are you drawn to the fusion of physical theatre, mask and puppetry? Do you admire Bad New Days’ distinctive approach to theatre and our embodied method of devised creation? If so, this workshop is for you!!
In Moving Bodies/Moving Objects, Adam will guide you through the physical training and creative processes that shape the works of Bad New Days, including Flashing Lights, Italian Mime Suicide, and Last Landscape. Through movement practice, improvisation, and creative exercises, participants will develop a deeper connection to their bodies and the space around them, and a deeper awareness of their relationship to other bodies and objects within the larger dramatic context. This training will expand your sense of freedom and presence on stage, while providing practical tools for character creation and devising original work.
