Synopsis

Drawing upon the proven methods of David Zinder's workshops and acting classes, Body Voice Imagination teaches a set of skills so that the actor can be ready to perform at his or her highest level of creativity. Organized with a practitioners' theoretical and aesthetic concerns in mind, the exercises in this volume build on the link between technique and inspiration, providing a practical overview of Zinder's "Logic of Training" that lends from the bases of physical awareness, to advanced non-vocal and vocal imagery improvisations, to the fundamentals of the Chekhov school of acting.
