商品簡介
Modeled after An Actor Prepares by Konstantin Stanislavsky, Process introduces readers to Geoff, a fictional young actor taking a class based on author Michael J. Gellman's real-life workshops. Geoff, who has just moved to Chicago to pursue an acting career, undergoes the standard trials of audition and rejection before he takes the advice of a fellow actor and turns to improv classes at The Second City. At first Geoff thinks improvisation is about laughs and loosening up, but he soon learns that it is a powerful tool for traditional actors as well as a craft in and of itself. Through Geoff's experience, readers discover key tenets of improvisation: concentration, visualization, focus, object work, being in the moment, and the crucial "yes, and."
