Acting For Life: A Textbook On Acting

Of all the arts, drama - with its exploration of human characters and relationships - is closest to everyday life. This testbook emphasizes this connection, presenting the fundamentals of drama and acting techniques in the context of ordinary experiences and interactions. The material is arranged sequentially especially with the drama teacher in mind. Subjects progress from basic stage and acting terminology, to more advanced lessons on acting theories. Each chapter includes exercises, activities and discussion questions carefully selected to reinforce the test. Excellent for use with both advanced as well as beginning acting students.
