Book excerpt: The Lee Strasberg Notes reproduces the original teachings of a unique voice in actor training, for the very first time. It is a stunning document in the history and ongoing practice of Strasberg’s Method. Compiled and edited by Lola Cohen, the book is based on unpublished transcripts of Strasberg’s own classes on acting, directing and Shakespeare. It recreates his theoretical approach, as well as the practical exercises used by his students, and brilliantly conveys his approach and personality. The book features Strasberg’s teachings on: • Training and exercises • Characters and scenes • Directing and the Method • Shakespeare and Stanislavski • The theater, acting and actors. Including a Preface by Anna Strasberg and a Foreword by Martin Sheen, this illuminating book brings the reader closer to Strasberg’s own methods than any other, making it a phenomenal resource for students, actors, and directors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Method Acting Exercises Handbook is a concise and practical guide to the acting exercises originally devised by Lee Strasberg, one of the Method's foremost practitioners. The Method trains the imagination, concentration, senses and emotions to ‘re-create’ – not ‘imitate’ – logical, believable and truthful behavior on stage and in film. Building on nearly 30 years of teaching internationally and at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York and Los Angeles, Lola Cohen details a series of specific exercises in order to provide clear instruction and guidance to this preeminent form of actor training. By integrating Strasberg's voice with her own tried and tested style of teaching, Cohen demonstrates what can be gained from the exercises, how they can inform and inspire your learning, and how they might be applied to your acting and directing practice. As a companion to The Lee Strasberg Notes (Routledge 2010), a transcription of Strasberg's own teaching, The Method Acting Exercises Handbook offers an unparalleled and updated guide to this world renowned technique.

Book excerpt: “The definitive source book on acting.”—Los Angeles Times Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Paul Newman, Dustin Hoffman, Dennis Hopper, Robert DeNiro, Marilyn Monroe, and Joanne Woodward—these are only a few of the many actors training in “Method” acting by the great and legendary Lee Strasberg. This revolutionary theory of acting—developed by Stanislavski and continued by Strasberg—has been a major influence on the art of acting in our time. During his last decade, Strasberg devoted himself to a work that would explain once and for all what The Method was and how it worked, as well as telling the story of its development and of the people involved with it. The result is a masterpiece of wisdom and guidance for anyone involved with the theater in any way. “A must for young actors—for old ones, too, for that matter.”—Paul Newman “An exploration of the creative process that will reward all who are interested in the nature of inspiration.”—Library Journal “An important cultural document.”—Booklist

"This book should be read by anyone who wants to act or even appreciate what acting involves. Like Meisner's way of teaching, it is the straight goods."—Arthur Miller "If there is a key to good acting, this one is it, above all others. Actors, young and not so young, will find inspiration and excitement in this book."—Gregory Peck

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Applause Books). Based on his own experience and the teachings of his celebrated but distant father, Lee, John Strasberg defines the talent of becoming real in a role. He surveys the traditional partition between life and theatre, and urges actors to make it a dynamic living membrane through which vital elements may pass. John Strasberg has written his own intensely personal story about his father's work and the Strasberg dynasty. It is a painful odyssey during which he relives the often demanding role he played as son to a man who was the central father figure to a generation of American actors.

After studying at the Moscow Art Theatre under Konstantin Stanislavski, Richard Boleslavsky became one of the most important acting teachers of his or any generation. Bringing Stanislavski’s system to America in the 1920s and 30s, he influenced many of the titans of American drama, from his own students—including Lee Strasburg and Stella Adler—to Marlon Brando, Paul Newman, and many others. In Acting: The First Six Lessons, Boleslavsky presents his acting theory and technique in a series of accessible and engaging dialogues. Widely considered a must-have for any serious actor, Boleslavsky’s work has long helped actors better understand their craft.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2005, a DVD, "The Method" was produced to complement this book. The DVD is sold by Amazon, is top quality technically, has a printed and picture menu, and is viewable in other countries. Reissued and updated with new photos- The book starts with the historical background, then the chapters move on to a detailed description of actor training and directing. Much of the "Directing" section is based on Elia Kazan among other notable directors and Strasberg. This book lays out an entire course of training exercises in a most explicit, practical down-to-earth manner for an easy to read understanding of those techniques and procedures used in "Method" acting. The book also offers detailed guidance for actors and directors when working on a role as well as audition techniques for actors and directors. The book takes the reader through every element of "The Method" and its vocabulary: Relaxation, Concentration, Sense Memory, Affective Memory, Improvisation, Preparing and Learning the Role, Class Scene Studies, Directing, Audition Tips, Theatre Games and Exercises for Youth, among other valuable information (e.g. Appendices A & B include enlightening information about Stanislavski and Vakhtangov, while Appendix C explains, "Behaviorial Psychology as a Basis for the Method." The book can be used as a textbook [and is world-wide], but it is also for theatre and film practitioners, as well as for enlightened theatre and film going and the general public. In her foreword Susan Strasberg wrote, " When I read Lorrie Hull's book, I thought, "My God, she's done it! She's caught so much of the work. She got the answers, wrote them down, used them in her own twelve years of teaching for my father, and then translated it all into an understandable, explicit, practical book that offers valuable tools for any actor {beginner or professional), as well as for writers, directors, and teachers. I'm sure a lot of misconceptions about my father's work will be cleared up by this book...I feel sure that my father, 'Pop, ' would be enormously pleased." [For demonstrations of Method training, see "The Method" DVD and video with William Smithers, Shelley Winters, Martin Landau, and Cloris Leachman-also carried by Amazon)
