As stage and screen artists explore new means to enhance their
craft, a new wave of interest in expressive movement and physical
improvisation has developed. And in order to bring authenticity and
believability to a character, it has become increasingly vital for
actors to be aware of movement and physical acting. Stage and
screen artists must now call upon physical presence, movement on
stage, non-verbal interactions, and gestures to fully convey
themselves. In Bringing the Body to the Stage and Screen, Annette
Lust provides stage and screen artists with a program of physical
and related expressive exercises that can empower their art with
more creativity. In this book, Lust provides a general introduction
to movement, including definitions and differences between movement
on the stage and screen, how to conduct a class or learn on one's
own, and choosing a movement style. Throughout the book and in the
appendixes, Lust incorporates learning programs that cover the use
of basic physical and expressive exercises for the entire body. In
addition, she provides original solo and group pantomimes;
improvisational exercises; examples of plays, fiction, poetry, and
songs that may be interpreted with movement; a list of training
centers in America and Europe; and an extensive bibliography and
videography. With 15 interviews and essays by prominent stage and
screen actors, mimes, clowns, dancers, and puppeteers who describe
the importance of movement in their art and illustrated with dozens
of photos of renowned world companies and artists, Bringing the
Body to the Stage and Screen will be a valuable resource for
theater teachers and students, as well as anyone engaged in the
performing arts.
