ACTION:
A Guide for Actors

Combining principles of verbal and nonverbal communication with the basic tenets of Stanislavski’s methodology of acting, Action is based on the belief that action is found in and created by RTN: the process of Relationships Transforming Now. Using improvisation, games and exercises alongside a series of tools designed to illuminate and enhance the training process, Action is a step-by-step guide to reading, rehearsing, and playing any text--be it a classic or a classic sit-com-- with ease, confidence and joy.
