ABSTRACT
Michael Chekhov imagined the Theatre of the Future. He was convinced that it would happen and actors would come to meet it fully prepared. The aims of the technique speak about an ideal. Through concentration, the Chekhov technique leads actors to discover a power that is greater than the everyday sense of being humans. The real work of the actor is to transform personal experience into a universal and recognizable form of expression that has the ability to change something in the spectator. Chekhov was a very gifted artist; his technique was formed as a result of his ability to concentrate, and to look at how he was concentrating, and what he was putting his attention on while he was acting. He saw what was at work for him. Artists desire to work from an inspired state. Yet inspiration is a fickle thing. The Chekhov technique addresses this desire.
