Abstract

This chapter is an overview of Michael Chekhov's little known ideas on theatre design and scenography. It charts how Chekhov at Dartington Hall integrated scenographic techniques into his actor-training with a focus on colour, costume, composition and gesture of the settings.

It concludes with a case study where Rushe applies these tools to her own production of Concert.
