For over twelve years, Jeff Thomakos has been studying and teaching the Michael Chekhov Technique of Acting. This technique relies on a psycho-physical approach to the process freeing the actor to aspire to his or her highest creative self on stage. 

​

An actor in Mr. Thomakos' Chekhov class can expect to learn all of the major Chekhovian concepts and more. These include:
 

• Psychological/Archetypal Gesture

• The Three Sister Sensations of Feeling

• The Four Brothers in Art

• Qualities of Movement

• Tempo/Rhythm

• Character/Imaginary/Moveable Centers

• The Trinity of the Psychology

• Overall/Personal Atmosphere

• Imaginary Body

• Expansion/Contraction

• Radiation/Receiving

• The Laws of Composition

• Focal Points

• Synthesizing the Process
