Summary/Abstract: Mikhail [Michael] Chekhov’s acting and stage design models have influenced twentieth-century choreographers such as Isadora Duncan, Martha Graham, Rudolf von Laban, and Mary Wigman. At the turn of the century M. Chekhov’s psychological gesture and contact improvisation became a model of contact improvisation for new choreographic quests in which the authorship of the choreographer/director gave way to the collective co-authorship of dancer and director. This study seeks to clarify how ideas borrowed from dramatic theatre were modified in dance art and how the ideas and staging solutions of choreographers, believed to be antagonists, proved to be similar.
