About
the Book:
Actioning and How to Do It is a vital component in every
actor's toolkit.
Actioning is one of the most widely used rehearsal
techniques for actors. It helps bring clarity to every moment or
thought in the text, energizing rehearsals and bringing performances
to life.
Actioning and How to Do It will enable you to discover and
unlock newfound energy, range, variety and clarity of body and voice,
by:
• Interrogating the text and making initial action verb
choices
• Playing your chosen actions, both verbally and
physically
• Maintaining an imaginative and emotional
connection with each moment
• Signposting each thought to your
scene partner
The indispensable companion to the internationally successful
Actions: The Actors' Thesaurus, this is the first
in-depth exploration of Actioning for student actors, those
who train them, and professionals working in the industry, whether
they're brand new to the technique or have been practising it for
years.
Actioning and How to Do It is a step-by-step guide that draws on concepts from Stanislavsky, using
sample scenes from classic plays such as The Seagull and The
Importance of Being Earnest, as well as contemporary pieces, and is
filled with exercises to demonstrate the technique at work.
