Published by Nick Hern Books
Every actor and director needs this book ...
It's perhaps the most widely used and admired book for use in rehearsals today
Finding the right action to play is an essential part of the process of preparation for the actor
Using this Thesaurus of active verbs, the actor can refine the action-word until s/he hits exactly the right one to help make the action come alive
The method of 'actioning' is widely used in rehearsal rooms, but has never before been set down in a systematic and comprehensive way
Actioning energises rehearsal and revitalises performance
Once you've started using it, you'll wonder how you ever managed without it
