THE MICHAEL CHEKHOV ACTING TECHNIQUE
"The beauty of his approach is that he offers a direct route to the actor's creativity by the simplest means."
-Simon Callow in his forward to Chekhov's book, To The Actor.
The Michael Chekhov Acting Technique merges physical training with imaginative psychological authenticity in an effective process that moves actors beyond their limits into the imaginary worlds of theatre.
