DESCRIPTION:
Creative. Practical and Intriguing This book explores the unique training required for actors in non-traditional forms of staging like arena, alley, site specific and thrust. What does it take to reach audiences who are not right in front of you? Michael Chekhov's techniques offer an excellent solution to the challenges and the way the Hutchinson and her colleagues suggest using and reimagining them is exciting. It makes me want to jump into play with an ensemble and then onto a non-traditional stage to see how they work.
All of the exercises are adapted from Michael Chekhov's acting technique, but are reimagined in new and creative ways that offer innovative twists for the practitioner familiar with Chekhov, and easy accessibility for the practitioner new to Chekhov. Acting Exercises for Non-Traditional Staging: Michael Chekhov Reimagined offers a new set of exercises for coaching actors when working on productions that are non-traditionally staged in arenas, thrusts, or alleys. Exploring the methodology through a modern day lens, these exercises are energizing additions to the classroom and essential tools for more a vibrant rehearsal and performance.
