Synopsis
This is the defining book on the subject, offering an elegant and systematic journey into the extraordinary Laban/Jungian theory of Character Analysis / Movement Psychology as used by actors, dancers, directors, writers - and in fact, by anyone with an interest in developing a psychological understanding of themselves, of others or of the characters they may be asked to play - in life, on the stage, or in front of a camera. This powerful analytical method incorporates Rudolf Laban's theory of movement and Carl Jung's character typology, aided by William Carpenter's expertise with language. It was completed by dancer Yat Malmgren; Christopher Fettes contributed a wealth of literary extracts to serve as examples, so producing a complete system for the analysis and development of character-types, on which the actor can rely when wishing to be able to transform into a role. Christopher Fettes explores each aspect with wit and precision, and it is clarified by the analysis of copious numbers of speeches by characters from a wide range of plays, and examples from literature. The book provides diagrams and charts to summarise; with biographies, and a bibliography - with a foreword by Colin Firth describing the effect that Movement Psychology / Character Analysis has had on him. Yat Malmgren and Christopher Fettes jointly founded the renowned Drama Centre London in 1963; they taught and further refined the method during the following 39 years that they ran the institution.
