This is an excellent acting textbook that deals with theory and practice for both beginning and advanced actors. David Kaplan's The Collected Series: Five Approaches to Acting contains his five approaches to acting: identifying tasks, playing episodes, building images, learning the world of the play, and telling a story. Each approach has its own definition of what it means to act, what it means to act well, what it means to be a character in a performance on stage, and, by extension, what it means to be a person in ?real? life. Each approach covers history, theory and examples of its practice.Anyone interested in the study of acting will instantly realize that The Collected Series: Five Approaches to Acting is a comprehenive approach to studying acting. As David Kaplan explains, "If we can agree that acting involves the theory and practice of human relationships ? not just the relationships of actors with actors, but of actors with audiences ? then the study of acting merits attention from anyone interested in behavior, character, and a relationship to the world from which ideas about such things evolve.'
