Actors understand the importance of training the body to attain good breath control, movement, and agility. They must also develop the ability to express emotions when portraying characters. Less well understood, however, is the vital awareness of mind, spirit and body that must be developed and explored in an actor's education. Movement Training for the Stage and Screen incorporates these aspects of an actor's training in a systematic course of study - in fact, the only course of its type to be offered in one workbook.
In her innovative Triadic Approach, author Jean Sabatine's constant aim is to integrate the mind, spirit, and body, helping the actor to discover and progressively build the organic connections between them - primarily through physical movement. The book includes dozens of movement exercises, each with a strongly defined physical or emotional focus, and these are fully illustrated with more than 200 step-by-step photographs. These exercises teach actors relaxation techniques, correct posture and alignment, and breath control. They are then further explored and applied to character development. In the characterization phase, scenes from such plays as Sam Shephard's True West are the basis for more physical work, which is also fully illustrated. Movement to a tempo - mainly with music - is also included, and a music list is provided to give actors a variety of tempos to work with.
