This manual is primarily intended to serve as: a) a textbook for
college classes in acting; b) a handbook for those actors in school
or community who may have begun to "act," in the sense that they
have already been cast in several parts, but who have had no real
training and wish practical assistance in preparing a role of some
proportions. In either case, the manual is meant for the beginner,
before he has read widely in more advanced works, or at least
before he has developed from wide reading and experience a workable
system of his own. In keeping with both of these aims, the volume
offers a brief though not superficial introduction to the many
inter-related problems of play presentation, as the actor must
sooner or later face them. The seasoned student-actor who has had
even a minimum of formal training can of course be expected to
bring to his work some knowledge of the broader problems of
production, and some awareness of the director's aims and
responsibilities. The experienced player has already struggled with
his own voice and speech, his own posture and movement; he has
already faced the complications of dramatic structure,
characterization, audience psychology. But all of these, and more,
crowd in on the beginner at once. Working Up a Part attempts to
outline a sound and practical approach for the beginner. Moving
from analysis of a role, through rehearsal, to performance, it
presents an orderly, logical, and balanced arrangement of material.
No one aspect of the beginner's task is slighted at the expense of
others; and the material is so organized that the volume may
readily be used either as a basic class text or as a reference
handbook.
