Everyone has heard of Method acting . . . but what about Modern
acting? This book makes the simple but radical proposal that we
acknowledge the Modern acting principles that continue to guide
actors' work in the twenty-first century. Developments in modern
drama and new stagecraft led Modern acting strategies to coalesce
by the 1930s - and Hollywood's new role as America's primary
performing arts provider ensured these techniques circulated widely
as the migration of Broadway talent and the demands of sound cinema
created a rich exchange of ideas among actors. Decades after
Strasberg's death in 1982, he and his Method are still famous,
while accounts of American acting tend to overlook the
contributions of Modern acting teachers such as Josephine Dillon,
Charles Jehlinger, and Sophie Rosenstein. Baron's examination of
acting manuals, workshop notes, and oral histories illustrates the
shared vision of Modern acting that connects these little-known
teachers to the landmark work of Stanislavsky. It reveals that
Stella Adler, long associated with the Method, is best understood
as a Modern acting teacher and that Modern acting, not Method,
might be seen as central to American performing arts if the Actors'
Lab in Hollywood (1941-1950) had survived the Cold War.
