{"product_id":"books-working-with-actors-by-stephen-bayly","title":"Working with Actors","description":"Working with Actors provides the key to unlocking the honest, dynamic performance every actor has within them. It offers a well-articulated formulation of the Meisner Technique easy for directors and actors to use within a working context.  Through setting out an accessible training programme for practitioners working across stage and screen, this book establishes a clear-cut route to building a three-dimensional character in an organic, non-intellectual fashion, based squarely on the character’s objectives.  Few books in this field venture out of the training studio, while in this book - alongside offering an intense and concentrated Meisner training programme - the focus is more on the ‘pay-off’: the collaborative act of developing the role and how that plays out in rehearsal and performance.    Beyond that, the books uniquely offers:  \u0026gt; a new modality for script reading, analysis and rehearsal through which the character is born in relation to other characters;  \u0026gt; a prioritisation of the key skills for coming alive in the moment – listening and putting one’s attention wholly on the other character\/actor;  \u0026gt; a historical perspective on how Meisner’s methods have evolved and why they provide the basis of truthful acting;  \u0026gt; for directors, a format for analysis of the complete work based on Stanislavskian principles;   \u0026gt; for actors,  complementary methods, such as Uta Hagen’s ‘endowment’, to enhance the ‘reality of doing’","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53506781085969,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781350295285.jpg?v=1778117370","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/books-working-with-actors-by-stephen-bayly","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
