CASTING: CHEKHOV WORKSHOP
Do you LOVE Chekhov as much as I do? And do you want to elevate your theatre portfolio with FREE, HIGH-QUALITY reel footage at the same time? ????❤️
I am are casting three (3) actors to workshop a 5-minute scene from one of Anton Chekhov’s masterpiece, Uncle Vanya. This is a completely free, volunteer-based workshop for actors who want to sharpen their craft and walk away with an incredible asset for their portfolio.
You will also get to dive deep into the transformative Michael Chekhov Technique. And when we say professional demo reel footage, we mean it. This isn’t a casual smartphone clip. To give back to the actors volunteering their time, we are bringing a professional Director of Photography (DOP), lighting, and sound to the workshop so your footage looks and sounds ready for prime time.

???? A Bit About Me
Hi, I’m Ethan! My deep love for Chekhov started during my theatre studies at UofT St. George, and I’ve been bringing his world to life ever since. I’ve previously directed an adaptation of Chekhov’s short story The Chorus Girl, and later produced an entire Chekhov Fest through my company, Theatre Ya Knowww, where I directed two separate productions of The Three Sisters. My artistic approach is heavily inspired by incredible local and cinematic art, from seeing Crow’s Theatre’s unforgettable production of The Cherry Orchard to the stunning 2018 film adaptation of The Seagull. I can’t wait to explore Uncle Vanya with you!
