Working with a Jungian analyst, Janet Sonenberg has re-interpreted the ancient practice of "incubating dreams"; in this technique, the actor seeds the dream with materials of the play and then uses the resulting dream.
Acting calls upon inner powers and perceptions, but most of all it calls upon the actor's imagination. This revolutionary book, offers an entirely new technique for exploring the imagination. No other acting technique offers the performer's own dreams as a means to imaginative and artistic expression. Drawing upon her experience as actor and director, Sonenberg shows what dreamwork can do. The result is a new tool with which actors can explore their psyches and enrich their performances.
