Lessons -- The Craft of Acting - Truthful Human Behavior on Stage & Screen (Paperback)

This book presents truthful human behaviour on stage and screen. It is definitely not a 'how-to' book! This book articulates the intangible - how to capture lightning in a jar. It works to develop awareness in order to help the aspiring actor evolve, grow and mature as a performer. Acting is an art that comes from oneself - no tricks, no special techniques. Every great artist begins as a craftsman then develops into an artist. Each of the 100 plain-speaking lessons in this book is brief and deals with an essential truth. The book is divided into 5 sections: Approach, Fundamentals, Classes and Rehearsals, Performance, and Final Lessons. This is a supplemental work for students and professionals.
