"Toward a General Theory of Acting" explores the actor's art
through the lens of Dynamic Systems Theory and recent findings in
the Cognitive Sciences. An analysis of different theories of acting
in the West from Stanislavski to Lecoq is followed by an in depth
discussion of technique, improvisation, and creating a score. In
the final chapter, the focus shifts to how these three are
interwoven when the actor steps in front of an audience, whether
performing realist, non-realist, or postdramatic theatre. Far from
using the sciences to reduce acting to a formula, Lutterbie
celebrates the mystery of the creative process.
