20 hours of class with Lisa Dalton, Hollywood actor, stunt performer, world-renowned educator, and author of a new Routledge book on the Michael Chekhov Technique. Drawing on her screen, stunt, and actor-training experience, Lisa offers a practical and transformative approach to Michael Chekhov’s work.
Huge respect. The cards found a deep, inner thread for me. By switching only one element, dynamic new directions are revealed.

I am an experienced actor and highly recommend this to anyone at any stage of their career. It was a much needed fresh take for me.

The class felt very relaxed and informal, but was packed full of content. I was able to look back at the fundamentals
and bring out new skills.

This is the actor's path forward. It was mind opening and unhinged my bound self. Atkins teaches what makes acting engaging and human.
