In this book, educator-actor-playwright-director Elizabeth Hess offers systematic and original explorations in performance technique. This hybrid approach is a fusion of physical theater modalities culled from Western practices (Psycho-physical actions, Viewpoints) Eastern practices (Butoh, Kundalini yoga) and related performance disciplines (Mask, Puppetry). Behavioral, physiological and psychological ‘states of being’ are engaged to unlock impulses, access experience and enlarge the imagination. Through individual, partnered and collective explorations, actors uncover a character’s essence and level of consciousness, their energy center and body language, and their archetype and relationship to universal themes. Magic (to pretend, as if), Metaphor (to compare, as like) and Myth (to pattern after, as in) provide the foundation for generating transformative, empathetic and expansive artistic expression. Explorations can be adapted to character work, scene study and production, including original/devised work and established text, to illuminate singular and surprising work through collaborative creativity that is inventive, inclusive and alive.

Acting on stage is a mode of performing an action, in the context of which the bodily aspects implicitly at work in acting reveal their own significance and power. This event can actualize a wound incarnated in human beings, because the actor acts and does not act at the same time and hence the concept of being 'the doer' unmasks itself as being illusionary. One could call it a kind of 'symbolic death' (Mueller), an 'anthropological mutation' (Agamben)--an event of great interest because of its highly ethical call.The book "Actors and the Art of Performance. Under Exposure" opens with a cascade of contradictory motives for becoming an actor. But, if theatre is no longer understood as a theatre of representation, then what takes place on stage is a transformation at play with truth, in which ethics are realized by the aesthetic. Insofar the book summarizes the attempt to explore and map guidelines of acting as being under the perspective of be-coming. That may sound fairly harmless in theory, but it feels anything but harmless when you experience it on your own body. For example, for being physical under exposure actors have to learn that there exists no fundamental dualism between mind and matter. Furthermore, actors are espoused to a dynamic shifting ground in the name of creativity. They have to carry the burden that the self is no sovereign identity as we generally suppose, but rather a threshold of permanent be-coming. One could call it the outstanding gift of acting. In the German language, gift means "poison", in German ears the word has the double meaning of poison and present, thus expressing the fact that a gift is disturbing and blessing at the same time. Loaded with fear and joy as the crucial point of acting, which attacks and attracts actors and spectators most.

Based on the latest research from the fields of neuroscience and mind-body psychology, Acting With Passion offers a revolutionary new approach to the age-old problems of the actor: dealing with nerves, engaging the body, quieting the inner critic, auditioning, creating a character, and even playing comedy. With this step-by-step guide, actors who have struggled with 'visualization' and 'emotional recall' can learn an alternative method of accessing feelings through the release of chronic, subtle muscular tensions that connect into the brain at lightning fast speed and can actually produce emotions on cue. Written with verve and accessibility, and using practical exercises to guide the actor through each stage, Acting With Passion is the must-have text for actors seeking that magical 'state of aliveness'.

It is my contention that we each have within us an unlimited potential that can be tapped into at any time. All we need to do is get out of our own way and work from our special place within: our original authentic selves, our own magical craziness, free from ego. As actors, we can all become the actor that we want to be, if only we can put this aspect of ourselves in the driving seat. Most of the 'methodologies' or 'systems' were developed to help actors who, for one reason or another, couldn't access their own authentic abilities. I believe that this is pre-set within us. In the first part of this little book I will reveal: What is meant by 'The Magic of Acting' Why the methodologies are merely clinical, paint-by-numbers systems without our own original 'Magic' How we can access this special place most of us have forgotten Why there is no such thing as 'the Character' How we can develop a sense of place and understand 'where we are' right now, both inside and out And how all this applies to our acting. In the second part of the book, we will look at how to operate in the industry, with basic advice for the new actor and a reminder for those returning to acting after a break. This is not just another 'how to do' acting manual. It is about 'how to BE'.
