A founding member of Peter Brook's international theatre company,
Yoshi Oida infuses his acting and directing with the artistry of
the Oriental traditions and a mastery of Western forms. In this
disarmingly accessible study of the art of acting he shares his
unique experience and range of expertise. An Actor's Tricks offers
a meticulous scrutiny of the actor's preparation for performance
and comes with a foreword by Peter Brook. Drawing on an unrivalled
wealth and range of expertise in the fields of acting, directing
and training, Yoshi Oida and Lorna Marshall provide an
authoritative and fascinating study of the art of the actor. In
scrutinising the process of performance from the twin perspectives
of the actor and director, An Actor's Tricks is filled with hints,
insights and stories from productions with Peter Brook and from
around the world. Beginning with the daily preparation to train the
body, it moves to the process of rehearsal for a performance right
up to the moment when the actor steps onstage. An appendix of
practical exercises is included for the actor to follow. The books
combines principles and techniques from both Western and Eastern
disciplines of acting to provide a masterful study essential for
every actor and director.
