The ING of it All
with Jess Maynard
We are never static. In this month’s MICHA Monday, actor and photographer Jess Maynard will bring concentration to the moments between, luxuriating in change, and finding ease in transformation. Playing with Expanding and Contracting, participants will have the opportunity to engage in the power and radiation of a simple choice. Participants are asked to bring in a few lines of text they would like to play with.

The Secret Joy of Archetype in the Actor’s Creative Process for TV and Self-Tape Performance
with Tobias Jelinek
In this practical and imaginative session, actor and teacher Tobias Jelinek explores how archetype can unlock spontaneity, presence, and creative freedom in on-camera performance. Using principles from the Michael Chekhov technique, participants will experiment with simple tools designed specifically for television and self-tape work. The session focuses on discovering the “secret joy” of archetype — not as an abstract idea, but as a living impulse that brings clarity, playfulness, and confidence to the actor’s process.
