Description
In Character: An Actor’s Workbook for Character Development is a textbook that describes the methodology and techniques needed for the mastery of the actor’s craft and the art of interpreting and portraying character. This concise manual guides the actor, step by step, on how to explore and develop the character in all aspects. It is a thorough method of character study. Specificity and exactness are stressed to arrive at a strict interpretation of the character – the way the writer wrote it.
The most innovative factor about this book is that it combines the “external” and “internal” approaches to character study into one complementary system.
In Character is primarily addressed to the actor, but it is no less useful for directors and dramatic writers. For directors, there are ready-made questions and assignments how to direct the actor. For writers, this book is a helpful tool how to write about the characters, how to construct them, and how to write the plot-action structure of a play. In fact, there is one part of the book that is just about that.
This electronic version is the second edition of In Character: An Actor’s Workbook for Character Development. It is basically the same as the first edition but expended and improved.
