Latinx Actor Training presents essays and pioneering research from
leading Latinx practitioners and scholars in the United States to
examine the history and future of Latino/a/x/e actor training practices
and approaches.
Born out of the urgent need to address the inequities in academia and
the industry as Latinx representation on stage and screen remains
disproportionately low despite population growth; this book seeks to
reimagine and restructure the practice of actor training by inviting
deep investigation into heritage and identity practices. Latinx Actor
Training features contributions covering current and historical acting
methodologies, principles, and training, explorations of linguistic
identity, casting considerations, and culturally inclusive practices
that aim to empower a new generation of Latinx actors and to assist the
educators who are entrusted with their training.
This book is dedicated to creating career success and championing
positive narratives to combat pervasive and damaging stereotypes.
Latinx Actor Training offers culturally inclusive pedagogies that will
be invaluable for students, practitioners, and scholars interested in
the intersections of Latinx herencia (heritage), identity, and actor
training.
