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.
