Title: Stanislavski was basically an amateur...
Review: David Mamet in his "Truth and Heresy" accuses the Stanislavski as being an amateur.. and essentially he was correct... despite that he set in motion a wide range of thinking about the "art" of acting.This book maps what has taken place since Konstantin Stanislavski set in place the quest for "truth". A very useful and informative text covering 14 of the major movements in actor training from the twentieth century. This is a great distillation of the major elements of each aproach. Includes significant discussion of the practitioners and their contexts.A great choice for anyone interested in the development of contemporary theatre. As a Drama teacher I find this a great resource for students.This one graces my bookshelf it should also be on yours.
