To the Actor

To the Actor

How does an actor learn to:<BR> * Call up emotion?<BR> * Develop a character?<BR> * Strengthen awareness?<BR> These are essential techniques for every actor, and Michael Chekhov's classic work <EM>To the Actor</EM> explains, clearly and concisely, how to develop them. Chekhov's simple and practical method - successfully used by professional actors all over the world - trains the actor's imagination and body to fulfil its potential.<BR> This handbook for actors (and directors) has been revised and expanded by Mala Powers. It includes: a previously unpublished chapter on 'Psychological Gesture', translated into English by the celebrated director Andrei Malaev - Babel; a new biographical overview by Mala Powers; and a foreword by Simon Callow.
