To support a new generation of actors/acting teachers by coupling
fresh ideas and new approaches with the best proven methods and
practices. On Acting is written primarily for the contemporary
American actor. It strives to address the acting process with an
eye toward the performance culture and requirements that exist
today. It is a book for the new twenty-first century artist--the
serious practical artist who seeks to pursue a career that is both
fulfilling and viable. The text features a balance of philosophy,
practical advice, anecdotal evidence/experiences and a wide variety
of acting exercises/activities. Also included is the short Steven
Breese play "Run. Run. Run Away" and an example of a scene score
from that play.
