Özet:

Abstract Although none of his works has been translated into Turkish, with his technique of acting, Michael Chekhov, has been the subject of many researches and influenced many theatre groups worldwide. With his writings and works, he showed that his technique is more than a criticism of his teacher Stanislavski's method, which can be seen as the basis of actor training, and improved his technique for decades. More over, by focusing on directly to the art of acting and considering it with the other elements of theater but also giving it a space where it is a totally different kind of art, he has been one of the pioneers of post-Stansilavskien theories with Vsevolod Meyerhold. The main features of this technique of acting which is still the subject of many researches are to be introduced with a critical perspective and the contribution and the possible hidden contributions of the technique to the contemporary acting arguments will be tried to be stated.
