Great Acting Teachers and Their Methods

Ask any great actor how it happened and you will hear about a great acting teacher.

The Great Acting Teachers and Their Methods explores the acting theories and teaching methods of the great teachers of acting - among them Stanislavski, Adler, Meyerhold, Strasberg, Meisner, Brecht, Grotowski and Suzuki.

Each chapter includes a sample class, which gives the reader a feel for how the different teachers accomplished their objectives, and thereby equip the reader to choose among them.

And in addition, this book takes a look at some of the premier actor training institutions in the United States and assesses what is being taught there today.
