- Fleming and Cornford were lead researchers on this multi-institutional and complex project based on hard-to -access archival material. It was run by a research team of twenty practitioners and scholars based at Goldsmiths, CSSD, QMUL, the University of Kent, Michael Chekhov UK, Bazoka Arts and The Chekhov Collective UK. The Practice Research was structured according to six research strands, which explored new and innovative uses of the Michael Chekhov Technique both within and beyond the theatre. The project culminated in a series of research events organised and led by Fleming and attended by 120 participants. The outcomes from the research and the event, form the basis of the book. _x000D_

Fleming and Cornford undertook the archival research, co-managed the research team, co-designed the practice/academic research and events, and later co-edited the book. Fleming was the book’s main author (37000 words), contributing an introductory chapter that discusses the project and methodology, her own chapter, and a chapter co-written with Cornford. Fleming has extended this research through her ongoing work with The Chekhov Collective _x000D_

(2013-) with whom she ran research events at the National Theatre Studio and Young Vic Theatre to increase outreach and impact. The Collective has produced over 20 research based accessible workshops, panel discussions, and events for a range of practitioners. The ongoing impact of New Pathways and the Collective has led to the international Open Doors project (2020) run by Fleming and Mitchell, Fleming and Mitchell’s Scholar in Residence position at MICHA: The Third Space project (2020-2021), and Fleming’s publication of ‘MICHA and the Chekhov Matriarchy’ (2019). Thanks to Fleming’s Practice Research initiatives, New Pathways has had a significant impact on the scholarship/practice of Chekhov Technique around the world and has fostered international exchange, new ways of working and critical dialogue.
