Emoting is not acting. Reproducing is not acting. Reacting is
acting. With this powerful idea, Nick Moseley takes long-held views
of actor training and opens them up to a productive new way of
thinking about performance. The goal of "Acting and Reacting" is to
stimulate thinking and reflection in both acting students and
teachers. For too long, argues Nick Moseley, actor training has
worked within superimposed concepts: on the one hand, the long
tradition of Stanislavski, which has been countered more recently
by the strongly anti-Stanislavskian views of David Mamet. Between
the two, Moseley writes, is a creative way of thinking about acting
that avoids extremes. Training is at the heart of acting, but
training must fit the actor, not the other way round.
Working with such concepts as emotional openness, trust and
acceptance, setting boundaries, and artistic freedom, "Acting and
Reacting "explores in depth techniques and exercises in
transactional improvisation and other tools for expanding the
actor's skill set. With chapters on such important topics as
inhabiting the space, learning to trust the body, and
defamiliarization, and with ample techniques and suggestions,
Acting and Reacting is a valuable tool for both actors and those
who train them.
