Lee Strasberg method

This small book is a surprisingly capacious and useful guide to acting. Exercises in the collection were originally invented by Rostusberg, who created his method in response to the Stanislavsky system and developed his ideas. In America, this system became known as a method, and he successfully inspired many actors, among whom celebrities as Marlon Brando and Marilyn Monroe.
The method is aimed at training imagination, concentration, feelings and emotions in order to recreate - not to imitate - logical and true behavior, whether it is about the theater scene, cinema or television. The author of Lola Cohen, a student of Lee Strasberg for many years, makes an excursion into the history of the method, explains and justifies his essence, gives a detailed description of the exercises, supplying them with valuable tips. Each group of exercises gives comments on actors telling about their experience, photographs of students and theatrical groups of the whole world, mastering the method. But the book is not only for actors. The fact that you can draw from it about the artist’s work of herself and his character is useful to the actor, the director, the teacher, and the playwright, which the author does not forget throughout the book and devotes them a separate chapter
