An Eclectic Approach
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This book bridges eastern and western perspectives on the body to formulate a movement approach to performance that could be the basis for a Stanislavski based acting class or a performance class that is some combination of actors, dancers and performance artists. The exercises are concise, clear and guide the reader through increasinly levels of self-awareness and application of this knowledge to performance.
Feel, Fuse and Follow is Great Technique

This book is great. The concept of feel, fuse and follow integrated me with my body in ways I never thought possible.
Innovative approach
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This book was a revelation to me in integrating my physical life with my imagination. The easy to follow explorations guided me from an understanding of my body to new ways of moving and working with a script. I found its focus on breathing and imagery expanded my ability to create a character.
