Quotes
from Students
Misha makes you feel
at ease. But he’s authoritative as well. You learn from him, because
he’s so clear, you really get what he’s trying to say. He’s
a mad scientist. What I ended up feeling was way beyond just doing theatre.
Misha's classes are great. *** The
class has changed me as a person, in a way that you can’t really
describe. To watch Misha is to watch chaos. His teaching method can seem
all over the place, but he gives you confidence to try harder and not
get discouraged. Misha’s a great teacher, without teaching, if that
makes any sense. Three hours fly by so fast that you really just don’t
realize it. *** The
class is great. Misha’s great. The people who’ve taken the
class- I’ve seen how we’ve all grown and come out of our shell.
I was at Home Depot with my girlfriend a couple of weeks ago, and in the
aisle next to me there was a forklift, and it honked its horn. Without
even thinking about it, I lifted my head in the air and went “Beep
Beep”. I covered my mouth. I don’t know why I did it. Misha’s
class is the best money I’ve spent in a long time. *** Countless times I’ve
had a terrible day at work, and not at all felt like coming to Misha’s
class. And within 10 or 15 minutes, something happens. It’s hard
to explain. It just sends you somewhere else. I can’t begin to describe
how I feel about that. Through the class, people become more comfortable.
Everything becomes smoother and more fun. I'm constantly trying to convince
friends to take Misha’s classes. *** Misha’s
an incredibly generous teacher. I think he’s really in this for
his own pleasure. Misha’s class is is a good counterpoint to the
rest of life in general. You get trained to respond with your body, immediately.
That seems to me like a pretty vital skill. And it’s pretty beautiful.
