Description

Review In this important and timely book, Dick McCaw [defines] the special nature of the actor's expressive instrument and how it can - or should - be trained...[he] delves into the complex issue of "training for actors," and indeed "what is an actor?", through a wide-ranging, fully documented, meticulously referenced, cross-discipline and, in the end, quite fearless, investigation.David Zinder, Professor Emeritus at Tel Aviv University, IsraelBased on his international pursuit of actor training, and expansive research in contemporary movement practice, Dick McCaw presents exercises, supporting theory and his own informed overview, with thoroughness and playful accessibility. A wonderful and deeply explored guide book to the actor's physical potential.Professor Annie Loui, Clare Trevor School of the Arts, University of California, USAThis absorbing, useful and accessible book draws on a career of dedicated practice and theoretical research. McCaw's personal approach explores the puzzling process of actor training and offers a valuable collection of training exercises. As a former student of McCaw's, the book transported me back to the joy and challenge of his classroom: a place of possibility and experimentation. I still use what I learnt there in my work with actors today. This is a must-read text for all practitioners, directors, actor trainers, performers and students who use games and exercises in their work.Poppy Corbett, Playwright, UK Product Description A practical guide to the principles of teaching and learning movement, this book instructs the actor on how to train the body to become a medium of expression. Starting with a break-down of the principles of actor training through exercises and theatre games, Dick McCaw teaches the actor about their own body and its possibilities including: the different ways it can move, the space it occupies and finally its rhythm, timing and pacing. With 64 exercises supported by diagrams and online video, Dick McCaw draws on his 20 years of teaching experience to coach the reader in the dynamics of movement education to achieve a responsive and articulate body. About the Author Dick McCaw is Senior Lecturer in Drama and Theatre at Royal Holloway, University of London. He has edited two books, With an Eye for Movement (on Warren Lambs development of Rudolph Labans movement theories) and TheLaban Sourcebook. He is a qualified Feldenkrais practitioner.
