An essential companion for actors in rehearsal - a thesaurus of action words to revitalise performance. Actors need actions. They cannot act moods. They need to be doing something with every line. They need verbs. They need an aim to achieve, and an action selected to help achieve that aim. 'Actions' are active verbs. 'I tempt you.' 'You taunt me.' In order to perform an action truthfully and therefore convincingly, an actor needs to find exactly the right action to suit that particular situation and that particular line. That is where this book comes in ... It is a thesaurus of active verbs, with which the actor can refine the action-word until s/he hits exactly the right one to help make the action come alive. It looks like this: taunt insult, tease, torment, provoke, ridicule, mock, poke, needle tempt influence, attract, entice, cajole, coax, seduce, lure, fascinate It is well known in the acting community that random lists of action-words circulate rehearsal rooms in dog-eared photocopies - as a sort of actor's crib. This book makes them available for the first time in an organised and comprehensive form.

"The Physical Actor" is a comprehensive book of actor's exercises, designed for the development of a strong and flexible physical body able to move with ease through space and interact instinctively on-stage. Annie Loui draws on her training with Etienne Decroux, Carolyn Carlson and Jerzy Grotowski to bring Contact Improvisation into the theatrical sphere and explain how it can be used to work with texts and applied directly to the theatrical stage. This book will guide the reader through a full course of movement skills, from daily warm-up to: partnering skills; spatial awareness for groups and individuals; fine motor control through mime; and, heightened co-ordination and sustained motion. Annie Loui works as a director/choreographer and creator of new media performance. She teaches Movement for Actors for the professional training program at the University of California, Irvine. [Contact improvisation is defined as a partnering form that consists of an energy and weight exchange between two people, emphasizing alert physical 'listening', complicity of weight, and instinctive responses.].

"Acting, by simple definition, means to be in the process of doing. It's not uncommon to meet people who say they want to be actors. My question to them is always the same: What are you currently doing to become an actor? "Doing" they say? Yes - If you wanted to be a musician you'd practice every day. If you were an athlete you'd train every day. Acting is no different. We feel lucky when we get a job. The fact is, we're most lucky when we're prepared when an opportunity knocks. Jasmine Embrechts' insightful book is a toolbox of achievable activities for beginner and working actors. A book filled with great reminders for all of us to do!" Matthew Modine, actor and filmmaker "The Active Actor is a refreshing, down-to-earth and practical guide to help you to stay motivated and proactive between acting jobs. It's clearly laid out and full of inspirational and practical exercises to help you nurture your inner artist. Jasmine's in-depth knowledge and experience shines through and her positivity is infectious!" Bea Grist, Mental Health and Wellbeing Manager, Spotlight What to do with all the downtime between acting jobs? How do we stay motivated? Actors often feel they can really only be considered actors when they are working on their next part. But there is so much that can be done to stay in the right mindset, and that helps careers move forward. The downward spiral of doubt and erosion of confidence is avoidable if we continue to work on our craft and take steps towards our goals. So often actors lose heart in the period between jobs and as a result sabotage their chances at the next audition. This book focuses on all the tasks that actors can and should be doing to keep active as a performer, when they haven't yet got their next job lined up. An actor's life is all-encompassing: a rich life contributes to an actor's next role. Focus on doing the tasks in this book that will help you stay centred, committed and in the right mindset, as divided into four sections: Business and Skillset tasks Creative tasks Ideas for learning Self-care options The inner artist must be nurtured and this book points you in the right direction with actionable steps to take in your journey as an actor - including that time when you are looking for your next role.

Analysis through Action for Actors and Directors is a comprehensive view of an innovative and exciting process for making new theatre. As well as an understanding of how Analysis through Action has developed over time, this book also demonstrates how it can be put into practice in today’s theatre. The first part of this book traces the exciting genealogy from Stanislavsky’s unfinished experiments, through the insights of geniuses Maria Knebel and Georgii Tovstonogov, down to today’s avant-garde auteurs. The second part is a practical manual based on extensive field testing by the author and colleagues. Here, two key components of the process are elucidated: Text Actions – ten interwoven text analysis steps – to be twinned with the thrilling rehearsal process using focused and joyful improvisations called Études. Written for new or experienced theatre students and practitioners, this book will enrich the technique of any theatre artist and anyone else interested in the theatre and its future.
