I wanted to share a book that was recommended to me and that I believe is worth reading. It is Training of the American Actor Edited by Arthur Bartow.
What I appreciate is how this anthology juxtaposes different acting techniques (for example Strasberg, Adler, Meisner, Chekhov, Hagen, Grotowski, Viewpoints, Practical Esthetics, et. al.) & explores the commonalities, history, evolution, & differences.
There is no need to go on an egg hunt -- the key techniques are conveniently in one anthology and it gives more than an encyclopedia entry.
What acting books are you reading?
