Professor Kyu Jin Kim of Dong-Eui University Publishes Korean Translation of "Mikhail Chekhov's Acting Lessons"

Professor Kyu Jin Kim from the Department of Film Studies at Dong-Eui University recently published the Korean translation of "Mikhail Chekhov's Acting Lessons," a book that encapsulates the acting philosophy and techniques of the world-renowned acting theorist Mikhail Chekhov.

This book serves as a master class featuring Chekhov's lectures, who gained a distinguished reputation as both an actor and acting theorist. It introduces Chekhov's innovative acting techniques, including psychological gesture, imaginary body, and atmosphere. The book is praised for going beyond simple acting training to convey the essence of an acting method that awakens both body and mind.

Professor Kim explained the background of the publication by saying, "During my studies abroad, I experienced a new dimension of acting through the Chekhov technique that I had never known before," and added, "While teaching students, I prepared this translation out of respect and gratitude for Chekhov."

Professor Kim graduated from Seoul National University and earned a Master of Fine Arts in Acting from the Korea National University of Arts and the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. He also obtained a Ph.D. in Arts from Kyung Hee University and completed the teacher training course at the National Michael Chekhov Association in the United States.

Active as both an actor and director, he has taught various acting techniques, including the Chekhov technique, at universities and organizations in Korea, China, the United Kingdom, and other countries. He is currently continuing his teaching and research at Dong-Eui University.
