| Details: |
This book provides students with a clear, common sense, non-faddish technique for performing on stage. Kuritz's technique is explained in terms of the actors' personal, common, everyday dramatic experiences. Simple exercises build upon one another as the technique is explored. Kuritz supplies actors with a special comfort and confidence in two of the stage's most daunting features -- comedy and Shakespearean verse poetry. The book eases the nervous actors into both, by building in the basic techniques basis in their everyday experience and logic. Comedy and verse become seen as two variations or extensions of the fundamental acting process, rather than as exotic, unique skills. |
