ACTING REVOLUTION (B&W): 11 NEW TECHNIQUES FOR BOLD AND EFFECTIVE PERFORMANCES

Many actors miss the mark in auditions. Why? Because their decisions don’t realistically balance character and story. This brilliant new acting approach cuts through the crap to focus on the important acting tasks that create rich, real performances and flexible actors. For more than a hundred years acting teachers have asked actors, “What does your character want?” But they have never asked, “Is that your character’s conscious or unconscious desire?” In life, very different behaviours result from conscious and unconscious processes. For the first time, here is an acting process that manages these elements separately. The results are revolutionary. In building a unique and practical understanding of character and story, this book gives actors rock solid foundations, leading to wonderfully playful performances – and the ability to change the story or character in seconds. Ground-breaking and different while still being simple and practical. It has links to nineteen videos that expand the discussion as well as the opportunity to try the techniques on a scene. This book will change your view of acting forever. — ISBN13: 9780645036312
