Purchase options and add-ons
The Actor Training Reader is an invaluable resource for students and teachers of acting, offering access to a wide range of key texts that identify, explore, illuminate and interrogate the challenges, practices and processes involved in training the modern actor.
A companion volume to the highly-acclaimed Actor Training (Hodge 2010), this book collects key writings by influential actor training practitioners of the twentieth century, introduced with essays from leading academics in the field of actor training. Key practitioners included are:
Eugenio Barba;
Anne Bogart;
Bertolt Brecht;
Peter Brook;
Michael Chekhov; and
Konstantin Stanislavsky.
The book sets established, widely used texts alongside less well-known ones in order to trace the development of actor training from the pioneering advances of Eastern Europe to the acting games of Augusto Boal. The texts are grouped into thematic sections rather than chronologically in order to encourage a comparison of different approaches to similar aspects of the craft. Each section will have a specially commissioned introductory essay by an expert in that area of actor training, which will bring context, critical engagement and contemporary relevance to the extracts and offer provocations for further discussion.

'There’s plenty here for any serious student needing to get to grips with the theory and would make an excellent accessible starting point for anyone hungry for information but as yet not quite ready for any single practitioner’s complete oeuvre.' - Susan Elkin, The Stage

About the author

I am Professor of Theatre Training and Education at Coventry University.
I trained in theatre at the Ecole Jacques Lecoq, and with Philippe Gaulier and Monika Pagneux, in Paris. My interests are in actor training, movement training for actors, physical theatre and theatre education. As well as 'Movement Training for the Modern Actor', Jacques Copeau' and 'The Actor Training Reader', I have also contributed to 'The Routledge Companion to Commedia dell'Arte' (Routledge), 'Encountering Ensemble' (Bloomsbury/Methuen), and I co-authored a chapter on Jacques Copeau with Cass Fleming (Goldsmiths, University of London) for 'The Great European Stage Directors, Vol. 3' (Bloomsbury/Methuen, general editor Simon Shepherd, volume editor Jonathan Pitches). In 2016 I co-edited 'The Routledge Companion to Jacques Lecoq' with Rick Kemp.
I have recently published a book on 'Performance, Movement and the Body' (Macmillan/red Globe, 2019) and co-edited a book on 'Time and Performer Training' with Konstantinos Thomaidis and Libby Worth (Routledge, 2019).
