Acting and Living in Discovery, A Workbook for the Actor lays out
essential fundamentals of the actor's process. Based on the
author's experiences at the legendary HB Studio in New York City,
Acting and Living in Discovery provides practical guidance for
developing, honing, or revitalizing the actor's craft for the
actor. A teacher can use the workbook to support a studio class, a
special workshop, part of a university acting course, or private
coaching. The chapters delve into basic facets of the acting
process that lead the actor into discovering the corporal world of
a script. Exercises at the end of each chapter invite the actor to
discover the treasure trove of his unique self, and spell out the
work an actor can do to wear the shoes of any character. The actor
is at once the instrument and the player. The workbook can be read
straight through or used as a reference for addressing a particular
problem or topic.
