"What is it that we're doing, when we're acting well? What is it
that great actors are actually doing when they're practicing their
craft at the highest level?" This is the question famously posed by
Earle Gister, the legendary head of the acting department at Yale
School of Drama from 1979 to 1999. In Acting Action, actor,
director, and teaching artist Hugh O'Gorman invites readers to
explore the question in detail. Focusing on playing action-one of
the essential components of acting passed on to Earle Gister and
Lloyd Richards by Paul Mann-Acting Action is divided into two
parts: Context and Practice. The Context section provides a
thorough examination of the theory behind the core elements of
playing action. The Practice section provides a step-by-step
rehearsal guide for actors to integrate playing action into their
preparation process. Acting Action is a place to begin for actors:
a foundation, a ground plan for how to get started and how to build
the core of a performance. More precisely, it provides a practical
guide for actors, directors, and teachers in the technique of
playing action, addressing a void in the world of actor training by
illuminating what exactly to do in the moment-to-moment act of
acting. It also serves as an artistic instructional manual for
either the stage or camera.
