An Actor's Task provides a framework for studying the dual arts of
acting: inhabiting a character both physically and psychologically.
Actors at all levels can use this book to explore, develop, and
review the sensory tools and training that enable them to be the
best versions of themselves and, ultimately, to bring that
understanding of "self" to their art. Innovative new exercises and
selected classics--updated for today's students--comprise more than
100 exercises. Introductions to each exercise explain its aims and
benefits. Clear step-by-step prompts provide guidance. Debriefing
sections engage actors in reflection on what they have experienced
and learned. This inspired text is equally suited to classroom use
and individual study.
