Mikhail Chekhov and Rudolf Steiner's eurythmy

Vol.26,No.2(2023)

Abstract
The author of the study aims to compare Mikhail Chekhov's and Rudolf Steiner's concepts of acting. He examines how Steiner's and Chekhov's teachings correspond in three basic concepts of Chekhov's technique: the Higher Self, Psychological Gesture, and True Imagination. Chekhov incorporated the teachings of eurythmy into the training programs he created and led, and therefore, in the conclusion, the author assesses the complementary nature of Chekhov's and Steiner's approaches to creating and running training programs for actors and actresses.
