Appendices include a new, complete translation of Chekhov’s Russian-language version of “To The Actor” (O technike aktera), Chapter One, on Psychological Gesture. Interviews with fourteen present-day Chekhov method teacher-practitioners, members of MICHA and other associated groups and institutions tying up with Michael Chekhov’s Pedagogy from Europe to America, Volume I.
