Overview

Actor Trainers on Acting is a comprehensive, diverse and forward-thinking examination of the craft of acting written by leading experts from across the world. The book reflects on the evolving relationship between actor training and the contemporary and future world and considers how directly actor training relates to the living experiences of its stakeholders. Examining the training provider’s role in looking forward to a sustainable and resilient future, this book considers what opportunities there are to be created within performance training and what can be done to enable them. Seeking to provide those teaching, facilitating and leading performance training with ideas and practical steps, this book will be invaluable to students, teachers, practitioners, and academics alike. Each chapter features an interview and reflection from leaders drawn from actor training resulting in innovative and insightful individual chapters. The progression is structured logically to consciously develop the coherent central theme, outlining approaches to contemporary actor training that respond directly to our times globally, building on the foundations of traditions and utilising learning to embolden a confident and resilient training for future students, teachers and industries.
