Description
First published in 1953, "To the Actor: On the Technique of Acting" is a renowned guide to acting by Russian-American actor, director, and teacher Michael Chekhov. Chekhov's approach to acting diverged from that of his teacher Konstantin Stanislavski, focusing on physical gestures and imagination to discover characters and oneself.
Chekhov's method emphasizes finding the physical identity of a character and internalizing it until it becomes second nature. This approach has been highly successful, with Chekhov personally teaching many notable actors and directors. "To the Actor: On the Technique of Acting" remains a valuable resource for actors, directors, and students of theater and film.
