Description

Discover the renowned acting technique developed by Michael Chekhov in this comprehensive guide. Sinéad Rushe provides an accessible introduction to the method, covering its principles and practical exercises that can be applied to dramatic texts.

The book is divided into three parts, each focusing on a different aspect of the technique: preparing practitioners for responsive work, foundational psychophysical exercises, and specific methods for scene work, characterisation, and transformation. Drawing on Chekhov's own writings and unpublished material from the Dartington Hall archives, Rushe offers a unique insight into the method.

This book is an ideal point of reference for actors, directors, teachers, and researchers already trained in the method, as well as those just beginning to explore it. With its practical exercises and real-world examples, it provides a valuable toolkit for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of Chekhov's approach.
