| education requirements for acting: A Challenge for the Actor Uta Hagen, 2024-08-25 I held onto this book for dear life throughout my twenties, and still thumb through it when I need a tune up. If I lose my car keys and I’m frantically turning my house upside down trying to find them I look up at the heavens and hope she’s having a good laugh. - Amanda Peet I was extraordinarily privileged to work with Uta Hagen in Circle in the Square’s production of George Bernard Shaw’s play, You Never Can Tell. She was committed to revealing the truth and we are the beneficiaries of her brilliant observations. - Victor Garber CHALLENGE FOR THE ACTOR, written by one of the most important actors of the 20th Century, is a remarkable source of practical principles on how to be a human being in your work and to not just “act. Uta's purpose for this book is to clarify and update the articulation of her technique as stated in RESPECT FOR ACTING. In Chapter 8 of this book particularly, she provides a self-empowering approach to acting that is an invaluable resource for achieving the art of acting for stage, film, and television at its highest level. - Ted Brunetti Uta Hagen changed my life. She changed the lives of thousands and thousands of other people as well. To have Uta’s books and to be able to look through them at the drop of a hat keeps me going and keeps me inspired to keep going. - Austin Pendleton Uta Hagen’s A CHALLENGE FOR THE ACTOR is simply the bible for any acting student serious about their craft. Even as a professional I refer to it time and again for the basics. It is a touchstone. - Laila Robins “'Cynicism leads to mental illness and insanity.' Words of warning Uta Hagen spoke often to her students. Here in lies the difference between Ms. Hagen’s classic RESPECT FOR ACTING and its companion A CHALLENGE FOR THE ACTOR. She meets head on the soul killing demon that threatens the art and craft of all actors, cynicism. The challenge is to remain curious, caring, innocent, disciplined, educated, and life-loving amid dark times. To have the courage to fight the forces of apathy and disbelief in order to serve with all one’s heart the profession that one loves.” - Victor Slezak Uta Hagen, one of the world's most renowned stage actresses, also taught acting for more than 40 years at the HB Studio in New York. Her first book, Respect for Acting, published in 1973, remains a best seller in print. In this edition of her second classic book, A Challenge for the Actor, she greatly expands her thinking about acting in a work that brings the full flowering of her artistry, both as an actor and as a teacher. She raises the issue of the actor's goals and examines the specifics of the actor's techniques. She goes on to consider the actor's relationship to the physical and psychological senses. There is a brilliantly conceived section on the animation of the body and mind, of listening and talking, and the concept of expectation. But perhaps the most useful are the exercises that Uta Hagen has created and elaborated to help the actor learn his craft. The exercises deal with developing the actor's physical destination in a role; making changes in the self serviceable in the creation of a character; recreating physical sensations; bringing the outdoors on stage; finding occupation while waiting; talking to oneself and the audience; and employing historical imagination. The scope and range of Uta Hagen here is extraordinary. Her years of acting and teaching have made her as finely seasoned an artist as the theatre has produced. |

| education requirements for acting: Peak Anders Ericsson, Robert Pool, 2016-04-05 “This book is a breakthrough, a lyrical, powerful, science-based narrative that actually shows us how to get better (much better) at the things we care about.”—Seth Godin, author of Linchpin “Anyone who wants to get better at anything should read [Peak]. Rest assured that the book is not mere theory. Ericsson’s research focuses on the real world, and he explains in detail, with examples, how all of us can apply the principles of great performance in our work or in any other part of our lives.”—Fortune Anders Ericsson has made a career studying chess champions, violin virtuosos, star athletes, and memory mavens. Peak distills three decades of myth-shattering research into a powerful learning strategy that is fundamentally different from the way people traditionally think about acquiring new abilities. Whether you want to stand out at work, improve your athletic or musical performance, or help your child achieve academic goals, Ericsson’s revolutionary methods will show you how to improve at almost any skill that matters to you. “The science of excellence can be divided into two eras: before Ericsson and after Ericsson. His groundbreaking work, captured in this brilliantly useful book, provides us with a blueprint for achieving the most important and life-changing work possible: to become a little bit better each day.”—Dan Coyle, author of The Talent Code “Ericsson’s research has revolutionized how we think about human achievement. If everyone would take the lessons of this book to heart, it could truly change the world.”—Joshua Foer, author of Moonwalking with Einstein |
| education requirements for acting: Acting with Power Deborah Gruenfeld, 2020-04-07 “A refreshing and enlightening new perspective on what it means to be powerful.”—Susan Cain, bestselling author of Quiet We all know what it looks like to use power badly. But how much do we really know about how to use power well? There is so much we get wrong about power: who has it, what it looks like, and the role it plays in our lives. Grounded in over two decades’ worth of scientific research and inspired by the popular class of the same name at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business, Acting with Power offers a new and eye-opening paradigm that overturns everything we thought we knew about the nature of power. Although we all feel powerless sometimes, we have more power than we tend to believe. Power exists in every relationship, not just at the top of big institutions. It isn’t merely a function of status or hierarchy, either. It’s about how much we are needed and how well we take care of other people. We often assume that power flows to those with the loudest voice or the most commanding presence. But, in fact, true power is often much quieter and more deferential than we realize. Moreover, it’s not just how much power we have but how we use it that determines how powerful we actually are. Actors aren’t the only ones who play roles for a living. We all make choices about how to use the power that comes with our given circumstances. We aren’t always cast in the roles we desire—or the ones we feel prepared to play. Some of us struggle to step up and be taken more seriously, while others have trouble standing back and ceding the spotlight. In Acting with Power, Deborah Gruenfeld shows how we can get more comfortable with power by adopting an actor’s mindset. Because power isn’t a personal attribute. It’s a part we play in someone else’s story. |

| education requirements for acting: Actor-Musicianship Jeremy Harrison, 2016-02-25 Actor-musicianship is a permanent feature of the musical theatre landscape. Actor-musician shows can be seen from Bradford to Broadway, from village halls to international arena tours. However, with the exception of a couple of academic papers, there has been nothing written about this fascinating area of theatre practice. Jeremy Harrison's book addresses this deficit, operating as both a record of the development of the actor-musician movement and as a practical guide for students, educators, performers and practitioners. It explores the history of actor-musicianship, examining its origins, as well as investigating – and offering guidance on – how this specialist form of music theatre is created. It, in turn, acts as a means of defining an art form that has to date been left to lurk in the shadows of musical theatre; a subset with its own distinctive culture of performer, maker and audience, but as yet no formal recognition as a specialism in its own right. The actor-musician show is multifarious and as such this book targets those interested in mainstream commercial work, as well as alternative and avant-garde theatre practice. The book draws together expertise from a range of disciplines with contributions from many of the leading figures in this field, including performers, directors, teachers, MDs, producers and writers. It also features a foreword by theatre director John Doyle. |

| education requirements for acting: The Vertical Hour David Hare, 2007 David Hare's new play The Vertical Hour is a thought-provoking exploration of how the political can sometimes intersect, collide with and ultimately dismantle the personal. While the play is positively brimming with cogent and fascinating arguments involving the current political situation, the production only fitfully succeeds in bringing this story to life. Hare fills The Vertical Hour with several of these ethical and philosophical quandaries that serve not only as dramatic interplay between the three main characters, but, also metaphorically as the basis for several of the arguments politicians and intellectuals are having these days concerning the role that America and the West have taken in Iraq, the Middle East and beyond.--Publisher's website. |

Using cultural and environmental history, seven chapters interrogate key moments in American theater and American environmentalism over the course of the twentieth century in the United States. It focuses, in particular, on how drama has represented environmental injustice and how inequality has become part of the American environmental landscape. As the first book-length ecocritical study of American theater, Earth Matters examines both familiar dramas and lesser-known grassroots plays in an effort to show that theater can be a powerful force for social change from frontier drama of the late nineteenth century to the eco-theater movement. This book argues that theater has always and already been part of the history of environmental ideas and action in the United States. Earth Matters also maps the rise of an ecocritical thought and eco-theater practice – what the author calls ecodramaturgy – showing how theater has informed environmental perceptions and policies. Through key plays and productions, it identifies strategies for artists who want their work to contribute to cultural transformation in the face of climate change. |

| education requirements for acting: How To Become An Actor, How To Be Highly Successful As An Actor, And How To Earn Revenue As An Actor Dr. Harrison Sachs, 2021-01-07 This essay sheds light on how to become an actor, explicates how to be highly successful as an actor, and elucidates how to earn revenue as an actor. While becoming an actor may seem be an eminently cumbersome, expensive, time-consuming, and daunting undertaking, it is viably possible to become an actor. Much to the relief of prospective actors, it is possible to become an actor in a time span of less than half of a decade and the journey to become an actor is not as lengthy as the journey to pursue certain other occupations, such as the occupations of a medical doctor or attorney. The pathway that a prospective actor can follow to become an actor is fraught with challenges that are not a cinch to surmount. It can be arduous to fulfill the duties of an actor. Acting skills are highly desirable skills to possess. As of January of 2021, only an infinitesimal fraction of one percent of the global population work as actors. In the U.S., for instance, less than 33,000 people work as actors even though the U.S. population is comprised of over 328,000,000 people as of January of 2021. As of January of 2021, less than .01% of people in the U.S. work as actors. This means that out of 9,940 random people in the U.S., about only one person at most works as an actor as of January of 2021. As of January of 2021, it was estimated that there were more medical doctors and attorneys as an aggregate in the U.S. than actors in the U.S. even though it takes far more years to fulfill the ample mandatory requirements to become a medical doctor or attorney than it takes to fulfill the mandatory requirements to become an actor. As of January of 2021, there are no mandatory requirements that need to be fulfilled for a person to become an actor. As of January of 2021, the economy is unequivocally in dire need of more actors, especially since they are able to help producers to bring their creative visions to fruition for movies, TV series, anime series, and theatrical performances. Actors are able to play a pivotal role in bringing the creative visions of producers to fruition by portraying fictitious characters in movies, TV series, anime series, and theatrical performances. Watching entertaining movies, engrossing TV series, enthralling anime series, and captivating theatrical performances allows people to divert their attention away from honing on real-world stressors in contexts in which the entertaining movies, enthralling TV series, and captivating theatrical performances are engrossing enough to retain their attention. People are eminently fond of being regaled. Freelance actors are not limited to furnishing their service offerings to an infinitesimal clientele. Actors can be “self-employed and work on a contractual basis”. Freelance actors are able to customize their own schedule and furnish their service offerings to clients from around the world. There are a myriad of disparate types of actors. Some of the ample disparate types of actors encompass movie actors, television actors, theater actors, commercial actors, and voice actors. The competencies can vary from actor to actor. It would ultimately behoove a prospective actor to explore the various actor career paths so that he can ascertain what specific type of actor career is the utmost befitting actor career for him to be pursuant of for years on end. The tasks of a movie actor can, for instance, involve memorizing lines from movie scripts and portraying fictitious characters in movie scenes. Movie actors are expected to convincingly portray fictitious characters in movie scenes. Movie actors play a vital role in helping producers to bring their ambitious creative visions to fruition for movies. The level of specialized knowledge can vary from actor to actor. The more knowledgeable that an actor is, the broader the target market that the actor’s service offerings can appeal to. An actor is not limited to having expertise in only one area of acting. It can take thousands of hours to become a competent actor. It is not an easy feat to become a competent actor, especially since it can take years to become an expert of a niche field. Actors should not only meticulously know how to competently apply acting techniques in acting performances, but should also know how to convincingly portray fictitious characters in acting performances so that they can carry out their actor job duties. Actors are expected to help producers to bring their lofty creative visions to fruition for movies, TV series, anime series, and theatrical performances. |
