Description
Michael Chekhov's On the Technique of Acting is the definitive guide to his renowned acting method. First published in 1993, this book presents the complete text of Chekhov's original manuscript, previously only available in a shortened version. The result is a clear and accurate presentation of his principles, which have been taught to many prominent actors, including Yul Brynner and Gregory Peck. This new edition includes thirty additional exercises, a chapter on screen acting, and more thorough explanations of key concepts such as the Psychological Gesture and inner tempo. These features provide a comprehensive understanding of Chekhov's approach to acting, making it an invaluable resource for actors, directors, and anyone interested in the theater.
