Le travail à l'Actors Studio

Rate this book
Les cours de Lee Strasberg à l'Actors Studio ont tous été enregistrés. Robert H. Hethmon - directeur du Centre de recherche théâtrale du Wisconsin - avait obtenu de Lee Strasberg la permission de réunir en un volume certains de ses cours les plus marquants. Son choix ingénieux nous permet de constater que, bien que Strasberg ait une façon très systématique d'aborder la formation de l'acteur, il n'a pas de règles établies, pas de "méthode", contrairement à ce que l'on croit en général. Sa passion pour la psychologie de l'individu, son art de s'adapter à la personnalité de chacun et sa profonde connaissance de l'être humain apparaissent à chaque page de ce livre, passionnant non seulement pour les acteurs et les metteurs en scène, mais pour tous ceux qu'intéressent l'art théâtral et la psychologie de l'homme.

Lee Strasberg

26 books33 followers
Lee Strasberg was an Academy Award nominated Austro-Hungarian-American director, actor, producer, and acting teacher. He cofounded, with directors Harold Clurman and Cheryl Crawford, the Group Theatre in 1931, which was hailed as "America's first true theatrical collective." In 1951, he became director of the non-profit Actors Studio, in New York City, considered "the nation's most prestigious acting school." In 1969, Strasberg founded the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York City and in Hollywood to teach the work he pioneered.

He is considered the "father of method acting in America," according to author Mel Gussow, and from the 1920s until his death in 1982 "he revolutionized the art of acting by having a profound influence on performance in American theater and movies." From his base in New York, he trained several generations of theatre and film's most illustrious talents, including Anne Bancroft, Dustin Hoffman, Montgomery Clift, James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, Julie Harris, Paul Newman, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro and director Elia Kazan.
