at VETRA ART Skopje
Psychological Gesture: The Character’s Spine
February 26 - March 1, 2026
Skopje, North Macedonia
The Psychological Gesture is probably the most famous tool of Michael Chekhov’s acting technique. It is a psycho-physical movement that awakens the actor’s inner life. A key to the essential features of the character, it enables the actor to express and embody his/her objectives.
In the workshop, we will explore the natural flow of movement and how it creates bold characters through gesture and archetypes. Stirring our will power, the Psychological Gesture gives the will a definite direction, awakens feelings, and evokes a condensed version of the character and his/her relationships.
● Objectives ● Archetypal Gestures ● Psychological Gesture of the character ● Qualities ● Feeling of Ease, Form, Beauty, and the Whole ● Archetypes ● Relationships ● Thinking, Feeling, Willing ● Scene study
Psychological gesture is the core of the Michael Chekhov Technique and it is Module 3 of the Michael Chekhov Europe Training Program.
Each module is designed to be an appropriate entrance to the whole program.
