Movement for Actors

Rating:
Summary: A comprehensive guide to the physical skills needed
Review: Compiled and edited by Nichole Potter (Adjunct Professor, Theater Department, Marymount Manhattan College), Movement For Actors is a comprehensive guide to the physical skills needed for effective performance on both the stage and the screen. Individual chapters address everything from the Feldenkrais Method, to Shakespearean dance, to biomechanics in this must-have for serious aspiring actors. All of the major methods are surveyed including the Alexander Technique, the Feldenkrais Method, and the Laban Movement Analysis. No highschool drama department, college theatrical department, or community theater group should be without a reference copy of Movement For Actors in their acting/performance studies reference collections.

Summary: A Dream Come True for a Man of the Stage
Review: Suzuki method, mime, stage combat, all in one book? I am impressed. Anyone who considers himself or herself an actor should read this book and get the jump on the (ample) competition. I come from theatrical family and I don't recall ever seeing anything this thorough on the subject. Break a leg!
