Reviews
Chekhov's belief in collaboration and trust in ensemble challenged traditional theater-making processes and paved the way for the new pathways described in this outstanding volume. This book reaches beyond the power of the actor to transform, and extends itself to a timely exploration of the playwright, designer, director, singer, dancer, drama therapist, activist, audience and community members who utilize a psychophysical technique in ways Chekhov both dreamed of and, quite likely, never imagined. [...] It is a long overdue examination and mapping of the important creative work being done and contains within its pages the potential to inspire future artists. * Jessica Cerullo, Artistic Director, MICHA USA *
