Very thought provoking and I think it’s helped me become a better actor, it’s just dry.

The simplest theory of acting I've encountered. This book presents the idea of the "target": a powerful companion to Stanislavsky-based acting. Helps me simplify and ground myself when I get trapped in my brain or so caught up in techniques that I freeze.

This book was written to encourage actors to take the pressure off themselves and just be as open as possible on a stage. Everything you need to play a role already exists! There are impulses coming at you constantly! I read most of this just before playing Mary Warren in "The Crucible" and had perhaps the most relaxed and fulfilling theatre experience I've ever had. This book was not the sole reason for that, but it was a large part of it.
