Contents:
'Theatre of the future': Chekhov technique for devised theatre and catalyst direction / Cass Fleming -- Actor-dramaturgs and atmospheric dramaturgies: Chekhov technique in processes of collaborative playwriting / Tom Cornford -- The expressive voice in performance: Chekhov's techniques for voice and singing / Daron Oram -- 'The moment you are not inwardly moving and inwardly participating, you are dead': Chekhov technique in actor-movement and dance / Roanna Mitchell -- Feeling space, making space: Michael Chekhov's approach to theatre design / Sinéad Rushe -- 'If the new theatre is to have meaning, the audience too must play its part': Chekhov technique in applied, therapeutic and community contexts / Caoimhe McAvinchey.
Summary: The culmination of an innovative practice-based research project, 'Michael Chekhov Technique in the Twenty-First Century' draws on clusters of historical writings and archive materials to investigate how Chekhov's technique can be used for other areas of theatre-making practice. In contrast to the narrow, actor training-only analysis that characterized 20th-century explorations of the technique, authors Cass Fleming and Tom Cornford, along with contributions from Caoimhe McAvinchey, Roanna Mitchell, Daron Oram and Sinéad Rushe, focus on a variety of disciplines. The areas explored are: devising and catalyst direction; collaborating with playwrights; and scenographic design, all of which are now at the forefront of international theatre practice.
