'Robert Cohen's book, Acting Power, follows the tradition of his
other book, Acting One, and has been the veritable bible for acting
teachers for the last quarter century.' - David Krasner, Emerson
College 'This book, above all else, is an attempt to explore the
qualities of acting power.... to suggest to you, the actor, an
approach toward not merely good acting but powerful acting. Great
actors display the power to frighten - and the power to seduce -
and can shift between the one and the other like a violinist can
her notes.' - From the Preface The first edition of Acting Power
was a groundbreaking work of acting theory which applied
sociological and psychological principles to actor training. The
book went on to influence a generation of theatre and performance
studies students and academics, and was translated into five
languages. This carefully revised 21st Century Edition
(re)considers, in the context of today's field: questions such as
'should actors act from the inside or the outside?' and 'should the
actor live the role or present the role?'; contemporary research
into communication theory, cybernetics, and cognitive science;
brilliantly illuminating and witty exercises for solo study and
classroom use, and a through-line of useful references to classic
plays; penetrating observations about the actor's art by more than
75 distinguished professional actors and directors. Cohen's elegant
and rigorous updates emphasise the continuing relevance of his
uniquely integrated and life-affirming approach to this field. The
new edition draws on his extraordinarily rich career as teacher,
scholar, director, translator and dramaturg. It is a recipe for
thrilling theatre in any genre.
