Arthur Lessac's Embodied Actor Training situates the work of
renowned voice and movement trainer Arthur Lessac in the context of
contemporary actor training. Supported by the work of Constantin
Stanislavsky and Maurice Merleau-Ponty's theories of embodiment,
the book explores Lessac's practice in terms of embodied acting, a
key subject in contemporary performance. In doing so, the author
explains how the actor can come to experience both skill and
expression as a subjective whole through active meditation and
spatial attunement. As well as feeding this psychophysical approach
into a wider discussion of embodiment, the book provides concrete
examples of how the practice can be put into effect. Using insights
gleaned from interviews conducted with Lessac and his Master
Teachers, the author enlightens our own understanding of Lessac's
practices. Three valuable appendices enhance the reader's
experience. These include: a biographical timeline of Lessac's life
and career sample curricula and a lesson plan for teachers at
university level explorations for personal discovery Melissa Hurt
is a Lessac Certified Trainer and has taught acting and Lessac's
voice, speech, and movement work at colleges across the United
States. She has a PhD from the University of Oregon and an MFA from
Virginia Commonwealth University.
