ABSTRACT
Well over 100 of Michael Chekhov’s exercises have been published, but the technique isn’t exhausted by these. Chekhov was inventing new exercises until his death and the basic principles of the technique will allow as many variations and creations as there are creative individualities. What follows is a personal selection of exercises, some previously unpublished, which I’ve put into my own words. I’ve taken them from many sources – some from Chekhov’s published works, others from classes taught by his students and their students (see Acknowledgements on p. xi).
