Abstract

The project aims to further studies and theoretical reflections on the importance of psychophysical integration of the actor as a key state to be developed within the Michael Chekhov technique. This research also seeks to compile the "psychophysical exercises" to design practical training that will be developed throughout the project. Through this work, we initiate a process of generating theoretical and practical knowledge on the importance and development of sensitivity to the connection between body/mind in the Chekhov technique.(AU)
