The Art of Acting: From Basic Exercises to Multidimensional
Performances
The first part of this book defines concepts important to the
art of acting. It also teaches the reader the fundamentals of
Method Acting. Colyer outlines, in the second section of the
book, the tried and true fail-safe technique of creating a multidimensional,
believably human character. The next section of the book gives
advice about playing your character's role within the dramatic
action. The reader learns how to put a director's blocking to
creative use, how to score actor's work to each beat of the playwright's
text and how to allow the character to express themselves emotionally.
And the final chapter is a list of plays within which to find
the most interesting and challenging characters for the reader
to create. This book is in its 3rd edition and it is easy to
see why it has become a classic. |
