Routledge Physical Actor Training - Andrei Droznin Book

Unlock the full potential of your acting instrument with Physical Actor Training: What Shall I Do with the Body They Gave Me? Written by Andrei Droznin, Russia's leading teacher of physical actor training, this book addresses the vital psychophysical connection required for authentic performance. Droznin explores the concept of 'desomatization,' a state where the connection between the mind and body is lost, hindering an actor's ability to express internal character impulses. This work provides a way to restore these essential links to achieve full expressivity on stage. This unique resource bridges the gap between theory and practical application. Drawing from years of experience at the highest levels of Russian theatre, including work at the Moscow Art Theatre, Droznin offers insights from a movement specialist who understands the demands of professional performance. It is an essential study for actors looking to master their physical presence and deepen their craft.
