About the Book

David Zinder’s Body Voice Imagination is written by one of the master teachers of the Michael Chekhov technique of acting training. This book is a comprehensive course of exercises devoted to the development of actors’ creative expressivity, comprising both pre-Chekhov ImageWork Training and seminal exercises of the Chekhov technique. It also details the way in which these techniques can be applied to performance through a discovery of the profound connections between the actor’s body, imagination and voice.

This new edition has been fully updated, with revisions and new material:

• Updated exercises, reflecting developments in David Zinder’s own ImageWork Training
• An detailed description, with exercises, of ImageWork’s connections to the Chekhov technique
• A new chapter, bridging the gap between training and performance

Body Voice Imagination develops both a comprehensive physical training system and an emphasis on practical character work. This authoritative programme of ‘pre-Chekhov’ training is furnished with essential notes and advice from the author’s vast store of professional experience.
