Restart your career
The Summer Academy of Theater and Cinema by the Chekhov Institute is a fantastic opportunity for you! Over the course of two weeks, actors, directors, and students from around the world will have the chance to explore the “Chekhov Method” and the “Stanislavski System,” strengthen their professional skills, gain a competitive edge in their careers, and collaborate on a stage production to be performed for a live audience.
The two most influential approaches to actor training—often mistakenly seen as conflicting—actually complement each other and can significantly enhance an actor’s craft. By combining Stanislavsky’s system with Michael Chekhov’s innovative technique, participants can achieve deeper, more dynamic results in both acting and directing.
