Body Voice Imagination: ImageWork Training and the Chekhov Technique

David Zinder’s Body Voice Imagination is written by one of the master teachers of the Michael Chekhov technique of acting training. This book is a comprehensive course of exercises devoted to the development of actors’ creative expressivity, comprising both pre-Chekhov ImageWork Training and seminal exercises of the Chekhov technique. It also details the way in which these techniques can be applied to performance through a discovery of the profound connections between the actor’s body, imagination and voice.

David Zinder, Professor Emeritus of the Tel Aviv University Dept. of Theatre Arts, was a founding member of the Michael Chekhov Association, and has over three decades of experience in actor training and directing. Today he is a freelance international director.
