Overview
Directing with the Michael Chekhov Technique explores the
collaborative process between a plays director and the entire production
team, making the journey of a production process cohesive using the
Michael Chekhov Technique. No other technique provides the tools for
both actor and director to communicate as clearly as does Michael
Chekhov. Directing with the Michael Chekhov Technique is the
first book to apply the insights of this celebrated technique to the
realities of directing a theatrical production. The book chronicles the
journey of a play, from conception through production, through the eyes
of the director. Drawn from the authors rehearsal journals, logs and
notes from each performance, the reader is shown how to arrive at a
concept, create a concept statement and manage the realization of the
play, utilizing specific techniques from Michael Chekhov to solve
problems of acting and design. As with all books in the Theatre Arts Workbook series, Directing with the Michael Chekhov Technique
will include online video exercises, Teaching Tip boxes which
streamline the book for teachers, and a useful Further Reading section. Directing with the Michael Chekhov Technique is the perfect guide to the production process for any director.
