Art of the Actor - Lenard Petit on the Chekhov Technique

I've been reading and studying a screenplay for my next film project. Hence, why I haven't posted any other explorations and journals from my daily acting workout. I've been simply jotting down my first impressions, as I allow my imagination to soak in all the images from every reading of my next film project. I was encouraged to discover Chekhov enthusiast, Anthony Hopkins reads his screenplays 500 times before he even sets foot on the set! Jotting down all sorts of impressions! A tool that Chekhov promotes all actors to do as part of their process. Now that's discipline...continuous acting!

In the meantime, I wanted to share a video with you from Lenard Petit on the Art of the Actor. He expounds on the Chekhov technique in a very succinct way! Take a look and allow your Higher Creative Self soak it in! Enjoy!
