Spare Scenes: 60 Skeletal Scenes for Acting and Directing
“Spare Scenes is a delightful collection of "neutral" but engaging material for use by student actors at any level of ability. Easy to learn and provocative, these short scenes encourage the student actor to use his or her imagination in a freer and more enticing way than traditional scenes.”–Dr. Robert Benedetti, Author of The Actor in You, Second Edition; The Actor at Work, Ninth Edition; and ACTION!: Acting for Film and Television“Spare Scenes is a very useful tool for both the actor in training as well as those training them. Timmerman provides coherent and concise explanations of acting exercises as well as imaginative scenes with which to practice their craft.”–Kyle Donnelly, Director, the Graduate Acting Program, University of California at San Diego
