WORKSHOPS IN USA

Each January, MICHA organizes a 5-day workshop for teachers in the US and in Europe. A typical day begins with a warm-up followed by a morning and afternoon class. Some evenings are free and others are devoted to informal and formal group discussion about using the Chekhov technique in the classroom.
