Well too advanced for my level right now but here is a quick introduction to Michael Chekhov given at a demonstration-Performance by students of Graham Dixon’s “Michael Chekhov Studio London”

Born in 1981, the nephew of the Russian playwright Anton Chekhov, Michael Chekhov is one of Russia’s most outstanding and innovative actors and diresctors.

Chekhov developed a unique approach to acting in which actors seek their characters in the imagination rather than in the intellect of in their personal histories. Much of his approach is dedicated to developing the means with which images (pictures, sounds, scenes) in the imagination can be artistically shown through the body on stage. His aproach provides techniques for enriching the actor’s craft, as well as developing the imagination and creative and personal life skills.
