DESCRIPTION:
Thanks to teachers like Sanford Meisner, Sonia Moore, Stella Adler and others who have given inner work its deserved priority, mastery of the flow of inner action - a skill ignored throughout much of the history of theatre - is now widely accepted within the theatre by professional actors and their teachers. He also brings Stanislavsky's pioneering theory of inner action to fruition. Bill Bruehl has set forth a comprehensive method for mastering the internal skills of the performer, as well as a precise method of interpreting text.
