Description
A collection of acting exercises from around the world. Divided into four parts, from "Body" through to "Voice, heart and mind", the book covers all the elements the reader needs to engage to train as an actor.
There are voice warm-ups and bodywork through to interacting with space and creating characters. Drawing on influences from Japanese Butoh to African dance, Shakespearean verse, and children's games, this book is aimed at actors who need to refresh their skills, those who would like to take part in or run workshops, and many who have no experience at all.
Play Acting is a valuable resource for anyone interested in developing their acting abilities, whether you are an experienced actor or completely new to the field.
