A 'fast-forward' acting course covering all the essential techniques an
actor needs to know and use - with a suite of exercises to put each
technique into practice.
The Acting Book offers various ways to analyse a text and to create
character, using not only the established processes of Stanislavski and
Meisner, but also new ones developed by the author over many years of
teaching drama students. It also sets out a wide range of rehearsal
techniques and improvisations, and it brims over with inventive
practical exercises designed to stimulate the actor's imagination and
build confidence.
The book will be invaluable to student actors as an accompaniment to
their training, to established actors who wish to refresh their
technique, and to drama teachers at every level.
