In the context of the modern trends in the development of world theater pedagogy, using interdisciplinary research methods, this book is dedicated to the nature of emotional memory in the light of scientific discoveries made in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries in physiology and psychology and its application in the modern acting training described in the System of the early Stanislavsky and the Strasberg Method. The main body focuses on Strasberg's Method and reexamines his theater philosophy and practice in the context of these scientific findings. The documents used for the analysis are Strasberg's A Dream of Passion and other authors' books based on transcriptions of tape-recorded lectures and exercises conducted by him over several decades. The analysis focuses on specific means and techniques that Strasberg used for actors to find, arouse, manage, and express emotions during their training, rehearsal, and performance. Strasberg's success in applying emotional memory is primarily due to his educated pedagogical intuition. In his Method, he simultaneously used five different approaches to move from the actor's conscious preparation to subconscious creativity. Each one of these techniques alone could lead to Strasberg's desired result: arousal and expression of the necessary emotion. He managed to combine them, achieving success in unaffectedly capturing feelings and emotions. This combination of techniques could be applied today to allow trained actors to evoke the necessary emotion using their emotional memory and cause it to express itself organically. The book intends to bring clarity to some controversial reactions to Strasberg's Method. It offers suggestions for a systematic approach, not only in the educational programs of acting and directing but also in the work of professional actors and directors. It contributes to the development of modern theater theory with the analysis of emotions, emotional memory, and the memory of sensations as bases of all creative processes.

This approach, honed after years of on-set experience and from teaching at UCLA, NYU, and Columbia, and endorsed by many in the industry, including director Ang Lee (Brokeback Mountain and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) and producer/actor Edward Asner, aims to provide a helpful reference and resource for directors and actors alike. It combines underlying theory with dozens of exercises designed to reveal the actor's craft. There is material on constructing the throughline; analyzing the script; character needs; the casting and rehearsal processes; film vs. theater procedures as well as the actor and the camera. Distilling difficult concepts and a complex task to their simplest form, the author explains how to accurately capture and portray human behavior. The author's discussion of creative problems she has encountered or anticipated after years of experience, and her suggested solutions and exercises, are immediately useful. Additionally, hear what the actors have to say in excerpts from interviews with such acclaimed actors as Meryl Streep, Denzel Washington, Glenn Close, Robert Redford, Christopher Walken, Julianne Moore, and Michael Douglas (to name a few) who discuss their work with directors, what inspires them, and what they really want from the director.

The Five Continents of Theatre undertakes the exploration of the material culture of the actor, which involves the actors’ pragmatic relations and technical functionality, their behaviour, the norms and conventions that interact with those of the audience and the society in which actors and spectators equally take part. The material culture of the actor is organised around body-mind techniques (see A Dictionary of Theatre Anthropology by the same authors) and auxiliary techniques whose variety concern: ■ the diverse circumstances that generate theatre performances: festive or civil occasions, celebrations of power, popular feasts such as carnival, calendar recurrences such as New Year, spring and summer festivals; ■ the financial and organisational aspects: costs, contracts, salaries, impresarios, tickets, subscriptions, tours; ■ the information to be provided to the public: announcements, posters, advertising, parades; ■ the spaces for the performance and those for the spectators: performing spaces in every possible sense of the term; ■ sets, lighting, sound, makeup, costumes, props; ■ the relations established between actor and spectator; ■ the means of transport adopted by actors and even by spectators. Auxiliary techniques repeat themselves not only throughout different historical periods, but also across all theatrical traditions. Interacting dialectically in the stratification of practices, they respond to basic needs that are common to all traditions when a performance has to be created and staged. A comparative overview of auxiliary techniques shows that the material culture of the actor, with its diverse processes, forms and styles, stems from the way in which actors respond to those same practical needs. The authors’ research for this aspect of theatre anthropology was based on examination of practices, texts and of 1400 images, chosen as exemplars.
