Nick Moseley
As Head of Acting at a major drama school, Nick Moseley has developed a system that is based on the individual's need to find truth in everything they do, to be 'in the moment' and to react instinctively to the other people on stage. In this book, he takes the best of Stanislavski, David Mamet and Sanford Meisner to fuel his own intensely practical approach.

Declan Donnellan
A revised and updated edition of Declan Donnellan's bestselling book, a fresh and radical approach to acting.
The Actor and the Target takes a scalpel to the heart of persistent fears from '
I don't know what I'm doing!' through '
I don't know who I am!' to '
I don't know what I'm playing!' 'Practically and modestly written, Declan Donnellan's book helps actors to release their talent and to be free on stage. However, Donnellan's path leads to wider perspectives; his book is rooted in modern theatre, modern psychology and, above all, modern reality. Written with wit and elegance, The Actor and the Target will be thoroughly enjoyed not only by the actors of a new millennium, but also by those of us who see the stage from the dark auditorium' Izvestia

Bella Merlin
A guide to Psycho-Physical Acting, complete with games and exercises.
When Stanislavsky died, he was working on a new system, Psycho-Physical Acting. Previously he had taught that truthful performance can only spring from the actor's imagination (the Method). Late in life, Stanislavsky realised that physical actions can induce emotions just as much as the other way round.
Though well-known - and much taught - in Russia, Psycho-Physical Acting is in its infancy in the West. Bella Merlin has studied under three of the best teachers in Russia; this book is the fruit of her time there.
'This is a book which is vital both to practitioners and to all serious students of the theatre' Max Stafford-Clark
'A seminal book for today... an outstandingly lucid account... essential reading' Simon Callow
