Description: "At the time of Stanislavsky's death, one of the most important things he was working on was an advanced approach to actor training which became known as Psycho-Physical Acting." "Though well-known - and much-taught - in Russia, Psycho-Physical Acting is in its infancy in the rest of the world. Bella Merlin has studied under three of the best teachers in Russia; this book is the fruit of her time there. The book takes the reader through a course in the new system, but because it is infused with the author's personal experience it is never a dry set of instructions, though every chapter comes complete with exercises."--BOOK JACKET.
