Ensemble Means Together E1: Fern Sloan + Ted Pugh

A conversation with Fern Sloan and Ted Pugh, both actors and longtime teachers of the Michael Chekhov technique. Studying with them has been one of the great experiences of my life, and I feel fortunate to have taken two five-week immersions at the school before the COVID-19 pandemic changed the possibilities for in-person classes. You can learn more about them, the school's offerings, and the technique on the website of the Michael Chekhov School, which offers classes online and in the area of the ancestral homelands of the Mohican people, also known as Hudson, NY. Also be sure to check out the searchable Michael Chekhov Archive. Below, I am flanked by Fern and Ted in Ted's light- and book-filled living room.
