Book excerpt: Truthful human behaviour on stage and screen. 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. A supplemental work for students and professionals.

Book excerpt: The classic text on the craft of Method acting by the founder of The American Laboratory Theatre. After studying at the Moscow Art Theatre under Konstantin Stanislavski, Richard Boleslavsky became one of the most important acting teachers of his or any generation. Bringing Stanislavski’s system to America in the 1920s and 30s, he influenced many of the titans of American drama, from his own students—including Lee Strasburg and Stella Adler—to Marlon Brando, Paul Newman, and many others. In Acting: The First Six Lessons, Boleslavsky presents his acting theory and technique in a series of accessible and engaging dialogues. Widely considered a must-have for any serious actor, Boleslavsky’s work has long helped actors better understand their craft.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1889 edition. Excerpt: ... Francois. If I fail--Richelieu. Fail--fail? In the lexicon of youth, which Fate reserves For a bright manhood, there is no such word As fail. ' (You will instruct him further, Marian) Follow her, --but at distance;--speak not to her, Till you are housed;--Farewell, boy! Never say "Fail" again. Francois. I will not. Richelieu. (Patting his locks.) There's my young hero. (Exeunt Francois and marian l. 3 e.) Richelieu. Joseph! So they would seize my person in this palace, --Joseph! This is a call for another. The Setting of the scene from which the foregoing counterpart is taken, would be as follows: A room in the Palais Cardinal, the walls hung with arms--a large screen in one corner, r. c.--a table covered with books, papers, etc., R.--a rude clock in a recess--busts, statues, book cases, weapons of different periods, and banners. Doors R and L., and private door l. 3 e. The Stage Business may be as follows, or may be varied very much to suit the idea of the actor. The greater variety the better. Every possible manner of carrying on a scene should be attempted. We find Richelieu on the Right. He is not calling to Huguet and the others, but is summing up each one in his mind to find their fitness for the perilous errand. The aside refers to the fact that he does not direct his remark to any person present, but to himself. An aside should always be spoken in a direction opposite or away from the presence of others, to give it the appearance of being unheard. The acting at this point requires study and deliberation; as each name is called up it is carefully analyzed in the mind before the words are expressed by way of comment on it. When the name Francois is reached, the eye sparkles, and a slight enthusiasm enters into the action. With a walk...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her long-awaited book, the legendary acting teacher Stella Adler gives us her extraordinary insights into the work of Henrik Ibsen ("The creation of the modern theater took a genius like Ibsen. . .Miller and Odets, Inge and O'Neill, Williams and Shaw, swallowed the whole of him"), August Strindberg ("He understood and predicted the forces that would break in our lives"), and Anton Chekhov ("Chekhov doesn't want a play, he wants what happens in life. In life, people don't usually kill each other. They talk"). Through the plays of these masters, Adler discusses the arts of playwriting and script interpretation ("There are two aspects of the theater. One belongs to the author and the other to the actor. The actor thinks it all belongs to the author. . .The curtain goes up and all he knows are the lines. . .It is not enough. . .Script interpretation is your profession"). She looks into aspects of society and class, and into our cultural past, as well as the evolution of the modern spirit ("The actor learns from Ibsen what is modern in the modern theater. There are no villains, no heroes. Ibsen understands, more than anything, there is more than one truth"). Stella Adler--daughter of Jacob Adler, who was universally acknowledged to be the greatest actor of the Yiddish theater, and herself a disciple of Stanislavsky--examines the role of the actor and brings to life the plays from which all modern theater derives: Ibsen's Hedda Gabler, The Master Builder, An Enemy of the People, and A Doll's House; Strindberg's Miss Julie and The Father; Chekhov's The Seagull, Uncle Vanya, The Cherry Orchard, and Three Sisters ("Masha is the sister who is the mystery. You cannot reach her. You cannot reach the artist. There is no logical way. Keep her in a special pocket of feelings that are complex and different"). Adler discusses the ideas behind these plays and explores the world of the playwrights and the history--both familial and cultural--that informed their work. She illumines not only the dramatic essence of each play but its subtext as well, continually asking questions that deepen one's understanding of the work and of the human spirit. Adler's book, brilliantly edited by Barry Paris, puts her famous lectures into print for the first time.
