Intended for actors, directors, teachers and researchers, this book
offers an exceptionally clear and thorough introduction to the
renowned acting technique developed by Michael Chekhov. Sinead
Rushe's book provides a complete overview of the whole method, and
includes illuminating explanations of its principles, as well as a
wide range of practical exercises that illustrate, step by step,
how they can be applied to dramatic texts. Part One provides an
outline of the ideas that underpin the work, which help to prepare
practitioners to become responsive and receptive, and to awaken
their imagination. Part Two charts a journey through the
foundational psychophysical exercises that can both orient an
actor's training routine and be applied directly to the development
of a role. Part Three focuses on more specific and elaborate
methods of scene work, characterisation and the art of
transformation. Drawing on the full range of Chekhov's writing in
English and French, this book also examines unpublished material
from the Dartington Hall archives and features interviews with
actors who have worked with the technique, including Simon Callow
and Joanna Merlin. It illustrates Chekhov's approach by referring
to Rushe's own productions of Nikolai Gogol's short story Diary of
a Madman and Shakespeare's Othello, as well as characters and
scenes in Sarah Kane's Blasted and the contemporary American
television series Breaking Bad. Michael Chekhov's Acting Technique
is an accessible, comprehensive and contemporary point of reference
for those already trained in the method, as well as an initiation
and toolkit for practitioners who are just beginning to discover
it.
