| Abstract | "The idioms and aphorisms of acting can both delight and frustrate. This book provides a practical and reliable evidence-based account of the most significant ideas about acting in circulation today. This is the first book in the field to use digital computational methodologies to produce a comprehensive, word and sentiment analysis of keytexts. Organized in digestible sections and 'keyword' sub-headings, this book, alongside its companion volume Training Actors, reveals the ideologies at play in both dominant and niche acting schools, indicating how ideas have developed over time as well as where acting theory and practice is heading"-- Provided by publisher. |
