MICHA Members Meeting October 2023

GETTING READY FOR MICHA'S 25th YEAR

Artistic Director Jessica Cerullo shares MICHA's plans for 2024. Plus - Jessica will talk with Chekhov scholar Lenka Pilchikova about Chekhov's primary source material. We'll parse the differences between the various editions of "To the Actor" and "On the Technique of Acting" and we will hear some stories from our members about ways they engage these, and other, published works.

MICHA's member zoom meetings are open to all current members. Each meeting includes a short psychophysical exploration, a conversation with a Chekhov practitioner, dialogue, and a time for announcements from the community.
