Abstract Details

2017, Master of Arts, Miami University, Theatre.
A psycho-physical approach to acting, the Michael Chekhov technique encourages the actor to engage in exercises that discover a body, mind and spirit connection while continuously remaining aware and affected by Atmosphere, the mood created in environment that in turn evokes emotion. The guiding principles of the Michael Chekhov technique generously lends itself as an advantageous tool for the musical theatre actor in creating three dimensional, and truthful characters as well as dynamic performances that compel audiences. On April 18, 2017 Miami University opened Andrew Lippa’s The Wild Party in their 2017-2018 season. The role of Kate will serve as a laboratory of applied research for this creative work. A compilation of interviews with experts using the technique in a musical theatre context, rehearsal process methods and documentation, as well as performance photos and analysis, this creative work marries research interests of addiction and performance as well as the application of this rich technique in a musical theatre role.
