For centuries the theater has been one of the major forms of art.
How did acting, and its institutionalization in the theater, begin
in the first place? In some cultures complex stories relate the
origin of acting and the theater. And over time, approaches to
acting have changed considerably. In the West, until the end of the
19th century, those changes occurred within the realm of acting
itself, focusing on the question of whether acting should be
'natural' or 'formal.' Approaches to acting were closely related to
the trends in culture at large. Acting became more and more
professional and sophisticated as philosophical theories developed
and knowledge in the human sciences increased. In the 20th century,
the director was established as the most important force in the
theater--able to lead actors to pinnacles of their art which they
could not have achieved on their own. Approaches to acting in
non-Western cultures follow quite different patterns. This book
provides a clear overview of different approaches to acting, both
historical and contemporary, Western and non-Western, and concludes
with a challenge to the future of the art.
