Title: An acrobat of the heart
Description: "In An Acrobat of the Heart, teacher-director-playwright Stephen Wangh reveals how Jerzy Grotowski's physical exercises can open a pathway to the actor's inner creativity. Drawing on Grotowski's insights and on the work of Stanislavski, Yoshi Oida, and others, Wangh bridges the gap between rigorous physical training and practical scene and character technique.

Wangh's own students give candid descriptions of the struggles and breakthroughs they encounter, and through their examples Wangh reveals how each of us can transform these remarkable lessons into a personal journey of artistic growth. Courageous, compelling, and lucid, An Acrobat of the Heart is an invaluable resource for actors, directors, and teachers alike."--BOOK JACKET.
