"An Actor Adrift" is the remarkable account of Japanese actor
director Yoshi Oida, who in 1968 left Japan and joined Peter
Brook's international theatre company in Paris. Since then he has
become a leading member and trainer in the company. In this book,
part personal story and part a workbook for actors and directors
wishing to understand and employ Peter Brook's techniques, Oida
describes the formation and early training of Brook's company and
provides an account of the first decade of work. It provides a
fascinating account of the company's first public performance -
"The Conference of the Birds" in Iran, of the extraordinary
explorative journey that followed through Africa, of work in
America and of the return to work in France. While he relates
productions of "The Ik," "The Conference of the Birds," "The
Mahabharata," "Orghast" and "Timon of Athens," he interweaves his
vivid personal experience as an actor in whom Eastern and Western
culture and practices come together.
