Synopsis
"The Expressive Body" is the first practical handbook on actor training that specifically addresses physical characterization as a fundamental element of the actor's craft. This book explores human behaviours to awaken the actor to the range of communication available through physical characterization. Author David Alberts shows the actor how to apply these expressions to the physical portrayal of the character. Alberts differentiates between non-verbal and verbal behaviour - separating gestures from the use of words - and demonstrates how movement can greatly enhance the overall communicative and expressive process. This book aims to help the actor communicate motivation, intent, expression and the dramatic context of a play more effectively through physical characterization. "The Expressive Body" provides the actor with ways to find and develop whatever physical expression is needed to portray a character in any production in any period and in any style.
