Publisher Synopsis
'An extraordinary living sampler ... accessible and compelling ... this collection should reside in the library of every forward looking, professional or academic training program for actors.' - Lavinia Hart, Head of MFA Acting, Wayne State University, USA 'An invaluable and rich contribution to the study and research of Michael Chekhov's approach to actor training and performance ... a fascinating resource for many drama teachers.' - Martin Sharp, TV/theatre director, ex-lecturer in Performing Arts, University of Brighton, and co-founder of the Michael Chekhov Centre UK 'Indispensable for actors and acting teachers alike. There is nothing like this available on the market to help illuminate Chekhov's own writing.' - Hugh O'Gorman, Head of Acting, California State University, USA 'These DVDs really show how the Michael Chekhov technique works in practice ... these DVDs are just wonderful!' - Ulrich Meyer-Horsch, Artistic Director, Hamburg, Germany 'These DVDs, with their talented teachers and responsive, inquisitive students are an immeasurably creative tool for teaching and learning, getting closer to the actor's art and serving as a legacy for the seminal work of Michael Chekhov.' - Zelda Fichandler, Tisch School of the Arts, New York, USA Read more...
