Acting

by Kurt Daw

What is acting? What is it not? In Acting: Thought into Action, Kurt Daw looks at how actors think about acting and how they translate that thought process into a performance. In addition to discussing the bones, sinews, and brains of acting, Daw provides the actor with exercises designed to expand creative thinking and enhance characterization.
