Over the past decades there has been a resurgence of interest in
Chekhov's acting technique. The original publishers of his
fundamental text, To the Actor, removed most of the author's
references to Rudolf Steiner, but recent studies acknowledge
Chekhov's personal interest in anthroposophy as the source of his
artistic inspiration. Dawn Langman explores the fundamentals of
Chekhov's psycho-physical technique and the metaphysical principles
on which it is based. She examines this technique in relation to
the specific challenges and gifts provided by the actor's
constitution of body, soul and spirit, and in the context of the
canon of great poetic and dramatic texts - illuminated by Steiner's
insights into humanity's evolving consciousness. The Art of Acting
lays the foundation for the second and third books in her series,
in which Langman explores Rudolf Steiner's art of speech and its
integration with Michael Chekhov's methodology. Together, these
books offer a contemporary, spiritually-enlivened path of
development for the actor, in which the combined insights of
Steiner and Chekhov lead to new possibilities for the performing
arts.
