Description
Stella Adler towers high among the memorable acting teachers in American theatre. Her methods of training, principles of acting and character interpretation, and analyses of the seminal plays of the modern theatre comprise a legacy for everyone who followed her.
Acting with Adler looks at that legacy through the particular immediacy and authenticity of her own spoken words. Over three years in the 1970s, author Joanna Rotté worked under the direction of Adler as a student and actor, all the while taking copious notes that form the heart of this book. Rotté’s recounting of her time with Adler reveals a teacher speaking about her principles in a tough-minded, demanding manner, inspired by her overriding conviction that an actor “becomes bigger through working.”
This new edition of Rotté’s acclaimed text includes an entirely new foreword from Isaac Butler, author of The Method; a preface that places Adler more fully in her historical context; and a new chapter that reflects on Adler’s philosophical and practical contributions, considering what her teachings have to offer performers working today.
