The Michael Chekhov Playbook Series

About the Book Series

The Michael Chekhov Way Playbook Series is the result of over thirty-five years of collaboration between Wil Kilroy and Lisa Loving Dalton developing a fun, healthy, and comprehensive way of training and applying Michael Chekhov’s (acting) techniques to stage, film and the artist’s life.

The series focuses on various aspects of performance art training, such as core concepts for actors, improvisation, script analysis, directing, devising, dramaturgy, design and applications for specific use in style, marketing and media. Each playbook offers step-by-step guidance and tips for “free styling” the integration of the concepts.
