3 PRAXIS classes with Alessandra Felli
Class description: The Michael Chekhov Technique is an imaginative approach to experiencing the truth of the moment. It is a technique that seeks a connection between making an outer physical action and sensing how this movement evokes an inner response. All physical exercises are done with the intention of awakening the body in order to become a sponge finely tuned to respond to psychological impulses. Thus the performer aims at reaching a complete balance and harmony between the body and the thoughts, emotions and desires. The classes will experience the constant play between these two levels.
