William Esper; one of the leading acting teachers of our time; explains and extends Sanford Meisners legendary technique; offering a clear; concrete; step-by-step approach to becoming a truly creative actor.Esper worked closely with Meisner for seventeen years and has spent decades developing his famous program for actors training. The result is a rigorous system of exercises that builds a solid foundation of acting skills from the ground up; and that is flexible enough to be applied to any challenge an actor faces; from soap operas to Shakespeare. Co-writer Damon DiMarco; a former student of Espers; spent over a year observing his mentor teaching first-year acting students. In this book he recreates that experience for us; allowing us to see how the progression of exercises works in practice. The Actors Art and Craft vividly demonstrates that good training does not constrain actors instinctsmdash;it frees them to create characters with truthful and compelling inner lives.From the Trade Paperback edition.
