As stage and screen artists explore new means to enhance their craft; a new wave of interest in expressive movement and physical improvisation has developed. And in order to bring authenticity and believability to a character; it has become increasingly vital for actors to be aware of movement and physical acting. Stage and screen artists must now call upon physical presence; movement on stage; non-verbal interactions; and gestures to fully convey themselves.In Bringing the Body to the Stage and Screen; Annette Lust provides stage and screen artists with a program of physical and related expressive exercises that can empower their art with more creativity. In this book; Lust provides a general introduction to movement; including definitions and differences between movement on the stage and screen; how to conduct a class or learn on ones own; and choosing a movement style. Throughout the book and in the appendixes; Lust incorporates learning programs that cover the use of basic physical and expressive exercises for the entire body. In addition; she provides original solo and group pantomimes; improvisational exercises; examples of plays; fiction; poetry; and songs that may be interpreted with movement; a list of training centers in America and Europe; and an extensive bibliography and videography.With 15 interviews and essays by prominent stage and screen actors; mimes; clowns; dancers; and puppeteers who describe the importance of movement in their art and illustrated with dozens of photos of renowned world companies and artists; Bringing the Body to the Stage and Screen will be a valuable resource for theater teachers and students; as well as anyone engaged in the performing arts.
