Description

Behind the mask, students can explore their own personality and character. In fact, it's paradoxically only when the mask hides the self that it enables deeper self-discovery. Libby Appel's book provides the theory behind this process and a step-by-step guide to developing characters from masks. The manual is divided into two parts: "The Instructor's Guide" and "The Actor's Guide." There's also an introductory chapter on classroom procedures, along with a sample class schedule in the back of the book. This new approach to actor training offers aspiring actors fresh ways to create honest dramatic characterizations. This book adds a valuable dimension to actor learning, making it a useful resource for those seeking new techniques.
