Interview: The MCCUK past, present and future

The Michael Chekhov Centre UK was founded in 1995 by Sarah Kane and Martin Sharp, in order to develop the knowledge and practice of Michael Chekhov’s approach to actor training. The centre was set up following the success of a 1994 conference on Chekhov’s work, organised by Kane at Emerson College. Graham Dixon joined Kane and Sharp in the MCCUK later, when he moved to England. Following a symposium organised in 2011, the MCCUK expanded to a core group of seven with the addition of Tom Cornford, Cass Fleming, Julia Krynke and Sinéad Rushe. To mark this transition, Cornford, Fleming and Rushe interviewed Dixon, Kane and Sharp about their use of Chekhov’s technique and the questions that teachers and practitioners face on a daily basis.
