Michael Chekhov Technique in the Twenty-First Century (Paperback)

Paperback. The culmination of an innovative practice research project, Michael Chekhov in the Twenty-First Century: New Pathways draws on historical writings and archival materials to investigate how Chekhovs technique can be used across the disciplines of contemporary performance and applied practice.In contrast to the narrow, actor training-only analysis that dominated 20th-century explorations of the technique, authors Cass Fleming and Tom Cornford, along with contributors Caoimhe McAvinchey, Roanna Mitchell, Daron Oram and Sinead Rushe, focus on devising, directing and collective creation, dramaturgy and collaborative playwriting, scenography, voice, movement and dance, as well as socially engaged and therapeutic practices, all of which are at the forefront of international theatre-making.The book collectively offers a thorough and fascinating investigation into new uses of Michael Chekhovs technique, providing practical strategies and principles alongside theoretical discussion.
