"How do we move actors into the less accessible regions of
themselves and release hotter, more dangerous, and less literal
means of approaching a role?" Superscenes are a revolutionary new
mode of teaching and rehearsal, allowing the actor to discover and
utilize the primal energies underlying dramatic texts. In Acting,
Archetype, and Neuroscience Jane Drake Brody draws upon a
lifetime's experience in the theatre, alongside the best insights
into pedagogical practice in the field, the work of philosophers
and writers who have focused on myth and archetype, and the latest
insights of neuroscience. The resulting interdisciplinary, exciting
volume works to: Mine the essentials of accepted acting theory
while finding ways to access more primally-based human behavior in
actors Restore a focus on storytelling that has been lost in the
rush to create complex characters with arresting physical and vocal
lives Uncover the mythical bones buried within every piece of
dramatic writing; the skeletal framework upon which hangs the
language and drama of the play itself Focus on the actor's body as
the only place where the conflict inherent in drama can be
animated. Acting, Archetype, and Neuroscience weaves together a
wealth of seemingly disparate performance methods, exciting actors
to imaginatively and playfully take risks they might otherwise
avoid. A radical new mixture of theory and practice by a highly
respected teacher of acting, this volume is a must-read for
students and performance practitioners alike.
