Acting: The Gister Method

by Joseph Alberti, Joseph Alberti, Earle Gister

Debuting it its first edition, The Gister Method moves from the beginning process of establishing character and given circumstances, through Gister’s unique principle of action, and into step-by-step examples of applying the ideas to plays, scenes and monologues. Along with a reader-friendly breakdown of the theoretical aspect of his method, the book contains many down-to-earth examples of experimenting and playing via the imagination and of putting the methods to work in real-life rehearsal and theatre situations.
