DAWN LANGMAN undertook a mainstream speech and acting training in Australia, followed by seven years of performing and teaching at secondary and tertiary levels. Her quest for an integrated approach that includes the spiritual dimension led her to train with Maisie Jones at the London School of Speech Formation in the method developed by Rudolf and Marie Steiner. She then taught for ten years at Emerson College in Sussex. Following this, Dawn trained in Michael Chekhov's acting technique with Ted Pugh and Fern Sloan of the Actors Ensemble in New York. Returning to Australia, she founded the School of the Living Word, where for eight years she continued to research the integration of Speech Formation with Chekhov's technique. She currently teaches this methodology at the Drama Centre, Flinders University, South Australia. Dawn is the author of The Art of Acting, The Art of Speech (both 2014), Tongues of Flame, The Actor of the Future Vol. 1 and Word Made Flesh, The Actor of the Future Vol. 2 (both 2019).
"Dawn Langman gifts us with yet another magnificent contribution
to her book series developing an integrated acting technique based
on the indications of Rudolf Steiner and Michael Chekhov, in which
actors become the work of art. Venturing even further into the
deeper alchemical mysteries of the work, Langman leads us into an
imagination of future theatre that includes a genuine experience of
the I AM, the origin of comedy and tragedy, Dante's Paradiso as
example of how we can experience the planetary spheres in word and
gesture, and much more, inspiring the unfoldment of actors of the
future."
--Dr. Jane Gilmer, actress and teacher, author of The
Alchemical Actor (2021) and former Assistant Professor of
Drama, VPA, National Institute of Education, Singapore "In this
present volume, Dawn Langman continues her in-depth exploration of
the integration of Michael Chekhov's system of psycho-physical
awareness with Rudolf Steiner's indications for creative speech and
eurythmy. In so doing, she genuinely models both teachers' emphasis
on experimentation and exploration absent the dogmatism sometimes
associated with such work. The careful, conscious communication of
her own advanced exercises created to develop this new methodology
will be most effective when worked in conjunction with her previous
books, The Art of Acting, The Art of Speech and The Actor of the
Future, vols. 1 & 2. Taken as a whole, Langman reveals the degree
of empathy and responsiveness possible not only between human
beings, but with all the manifold community of beings 'between
earth and heaven.'"
--Dr. Diane Carracciolo, Associate Professor of Educational
Theatre, Adelphi University, New York
