An inspiring and technically thorough practical book for actors that sets down a systematic and coherent process for organic (from the "inside-out"/experienced emotion) acting. The author offers a step-by-step, Stanislavski-based approach to text, role, and performance to be used in everyday work and gathers together in one volume the essential tools that serve to re-create human experience. John Gillett builds on his experience of teaching at drama school level as well as thirty years of acting. For those acting students and professional actors who have become mystified and frustrated with trying to understand Stanislavski"s approach, this book is an accessible guide to inspire a truly real and audience-captivating performance.
