Setting Free the Actor: Overcoming Creative Blocks

Everyone, from time to time, trips over unfinished emotional business from the past. For those of us who are actors, these stumbling blocks have a profound effect on the quality of our work and on our ability to develop our craft to its greatest state of grace. This book is about making peace with our emotional heritage and taking adult responsibility for our own creative life. If I have a mission today, it is to send actors into the twenty-first century with strength and security in the dignity of their work. The exercises, tools, and tasks in this book have been developed over the years through my work with clients and are well within reach of any actor. in three parts: One: The Blocks to Creativity; Two: Tools for Overcoming the Blocks; Three: The Nuts and Bolts - Practical Applications.
