Acting; The First Six Lessons by Richard Boleslavsky

Acting - The First Six Lessons is a collection of essays by Richard Boleslavsky. Written in the form of a series of dialogues, these lessons aim to inform and instruct the budding actor on some of the basic principles of acting and learning to act. A novel approach to teaching acting techniques, this volume is highly recommended for novices and young actors or actresses looking to hone their abilities. Richard Boleslavsky (1889 - 1937) was a Polish theatre director, actor and teacher. Other notable works by this author include: The Way of the Lancer (1932), Lances Down (1932), and New Features in Acting (1935). Contents include: Richard Boleslavsky, Introduction, The First Lesson, The Second Lesson, The Third Lesson, The Fourth Lesson, The Fifth Lesson, and The Sixth Lesson. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.

Richard Boleslavsky was a member of the Moscow Art Theater and cofounder of the American Laboratory Theater School, which taught actors and teachers such as Lee Strasberg and Stella Adler, and was instrumental in bringing Stanislavsky's theories to the United States. This book contains his enduring work, despite the fact that he directed Hollywood films in the 1930s and 1940s.
