The power of acting

ACTING is a vast and relatively unknown subject... for many. And yet millions are fascinated by it. Why? The answer is because this all-encompassing human art form is as fundamental to the self-actualisation of a human being as reading, writing and maths.

We sense this. We know it. Surely the possession of such knowledge would be of great advantage in any profession, in any walk of life, and not just the preserve of stage and film?

Why are we not taught these playful and transformative skills in school?

This book uncovers why, and reveals top acting secrets, techniques and games that will dramatically change the way you see yourself and the world around you. 'This is a wonderfully helpful book regarding the importance of adults learning to play again, in order to free themselves from the oppressive everyday tramlines we follow...
