Overview
It is organised into three sections: Actor-Training, Rehearsal
Processes and Performance Practices. Key terms are explained and defined
as they naturally occur in this process. They are illustrated with
examples from both his own work and that of other practitioners.
Each stage of the process is explored with sequences of practical
exercises designed to help today's actors and students become thoroughly
familiar with the tools in Stanislavsky's toolkit.
