A precise and playful exploration of Sanford Meisner's acting technique as a means of creating meaningful performances that draw audiences in, from a voice in an emerging generation of teachers.
Offering a refreshing perspective, this book weaves self-compassion, mindfulness and contemporary insight into Meisner's approach to actor training. Through practical exercises, theory made clear and personal experience, this book helps demystify the craft of acting and gives you the tools to connect with yourself, your partner and the audience to move, stir and awaken the audience's shared humanity.
The book unfolds in three parts: from the foundational theory and practice of listening to its embodiment within fictional circumstances and finally its integration with a writer's text. Here, the written word is brought to life and the actor is empowered to infuse their performance with deep personal meaning.
This book invites you to access your full potential through welcoming your subconscious creativity, freeing your instincts and understanding how preparation and craft serve the moment-to-moment nature of the actor's work.
