This Coaching is for you if you:
are working on a monologue or scene but aren’t sure how to take it further
find yourself returning to the same acting choices
want a professional outside perspective on your work
are preparing for an audition and want to make a strong impression from the very first moment

About Instructor
Anna Karpukhina is a movement director, choreographer, and Michael Chekhov teacher with over 20 years of experience and more than 45 productions in Moscow and abroad.
What You’ll Leave With
Your monologue or scene will be more fully developed, with stronger, more specific acting choices and a physical way into the character that you can return to in rehearsal or at an audition.
Before the Session
Before we meet, you send me a video of your monologue or scene. It doesn’t need to be professionally recorded - a simple phone video is fine.
I review the material in advance, note what is already working, and identify a few areas to focus on during the session.
During the Session
We use tools from the Michael Chekhov Technique to explore the character’s physical life, impulses, and relationship to the space and their scene partner.
Language
Sessions are conducted in Russian.
If you speak another language and would like to work with me, we can use AI-assisted interpretation. You speak in your language, I coach in Russian, and AI translates our words throughout the session. This allows us to discuss the material, ask questions, and work together - even though we speak different languages.
