Book Synopsis Directing Actors - 25th Anniversary Edition by : Judith Weston Judith
Download or read book Directing Actors - 25th Anniversary Edition written by Judith Weston Judith and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-06 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Directing film or television is a high-stakes occupation. It captures your full attention at every moment, calling on you to commit every resource and stretch yourself to the limit; it's the white-water rafting of entertainment jobs. But for many directors, the excitement they feel about a new project tightens into anxiety when it comes to working with actors.In the years since the original edition of Directing Actors was published, the technical side of filmmaking has become much more easily accessible. Directors tell me that dealing with actors is the last frontier--the scariest part and the part they long for--the human part, the place where connection happens.Weston's books help directors scale the heights of the actor-director dynamic, learn the joys of collaborating with actors--and become an "actor's director."

Download or read book A Director Prepares written by Anne Bogart and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Director Prepares is a thought-provoking examination of the challenges of making theatre.

Each chapter tackles one of the seven major areas Bogart has identified as both potential partner and potential obstacle to art-making.

Download or read book Kazan on Directing written by Elia Kazan and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2010-01-12 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elia Kazan was the twentieth century’s most celebrated director of both stage and screen, and this monumental, revelatory book shows us the master at work. Kazan’s list of Broadway and Hollywood successes—A Streetcar Named Desire, Death of a Salesman, On the Waterfront, to name a few—is a testament to his profound impact on the art of directing. This remarkable book, drawn from his notebooks, letters, interviews, and autobiography, reveals Kazan’s method: how he uncovered the “spine,” or core, of each script; how he analyzed each piece in terms of his own experience; and how he determined the specifics of his production. And in the final section, “The Pleasures of Directing”—written during Kazan’s final years—he becomes a wise old pro offering advice and insight for budding artists, writers, actors, and directors.

Book Synopsis The Art of Directing by : John W. Kirk
Download or read book The Art of Directing written by John W. Kirk and published by Ad Hoc Productions, Incorporated. This book was released on 1990-08-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published by Wadsworth in 1985, this text presents an innovative, well-structured approach to directing which deals clearly & practically with the problems of play analysis & play production. Based on soundly-reasoned, well-articulated principles of modern theory, this book is also of interest to drama theory & criticism classes. Cybernetic, interactive techniques are applied to the practical problems of production. Phenomenology is taken out of the esoteric realms of theory seminars & made to work as a tool for understanding & producing the play. A cornerstone of this text is a system of analysis that isolates & clarifies the underlying action that drives the play. Another innovative element is the "flow theory" of blocking design that takes into account the production as a dynamic space/time event. The psychic power of space, line & mass are consciously employed to underscore & illuminate the relationships created by the action. Finally, an entire chapter is devoted to the practical problems of designing a rehearsal schedule, casting the right actors & working with costume & scenic designers to create a unified production. Out of print for a year, The Art of Directing was republished in 1990 because of the continuing demand for this innovative & practical text.
