About this Item

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - 2014 Reprint of 1955 First Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition. Not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. This teacher-author's method of suggesting exercises and projects for the actor provides a definite and practical procedure of working. His use of examples from fine plays illustrates his convictions, and the quotations from many talented theatre workers reinforce and illuminate in a helpful way his theme. Before publication of this book, the only available exposition of the Stanislavski method was Stanislavski's own-admittedly complex and often diffuse in its presentations. McGaw draws upon aspects of this method which have proven to be practical in helping beginning actors to develop an effective technique for bringing character to life on the state. The book is a successful blending of technique and theory, and includes exercise material, illustrations on stage directions and a complete glossary of theatrical terms. Reprinted many times, this is a reprint of the original edition as first published in 1955.
