In Mythic Imagination and the Actor, Marissa Chibas draws on over
three decades of experience as a Latinx actor, writer, filmmaker,
and teacher to offer an approach to acting that embraces collective
imagination, archetypal work, and the mythic. The book begins with
a comparative analysis between method acting and mythic acting,
encouraging actors to push past the limits of singular life
experience and move to a realm where imagination and metaphor
thrive. In the context of mythic acting, the book explores
awareness work, solo performance creation, the power of archetypes,
character building exercises, creating a body/text connection, and
how to be the detective of your own process. Through this inclusive
guide for a new age of diverse performers traversing gender,
ability, culture, and race, readers are able to move beyond their
limits to a deep engagement with the infinite possibilities of rich
imagination. The final chapter empowers and motivates artists to
live healthfully within the practice and create a personal artistic
vision plan. Written for actors and students of acting, American
Drama, and film and theatre studies, Mythic Imagination and the
Actor provides practical exercises and prompts to unlock and
interpret an actor's deepest creative sources.
