{"product_id":"9780307279262","title":"The Actor's Art and Craft","description":"William Esper, one of the leading acting teachers of our time, explains and extends Sanford Meisner's legendary technique, offering a clear, concrete, step-by-step approach to becoming a truly creative actor.Esper worked closely with Meisner for seventeen years and has spent decades developing his famous program for actor's training. The result is a rigorous system of exercises that builds a solid foundation of acting skills from the ground up, and that is flexible enough to be applied to any challenge an actor faces, from soap operas to Shakespeare. Co-writer Damon DiMarco, a former student of Esper's, spent over a year observing his mentor teaching first-year acting students. In this book he recreates that experience for us, allowing us to see how the progression of exercises works in practice. \u003ci\u003eThe Actor's Art and Craft\u003c\/i\u003e vividly demonstrates that good training does not constrain actors' instincts—it frees them to create characters with truthful and compelling inner lives.","brand":"William Esper","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":45893584191700,"sku":"9780307279262","price":27.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/9208\/files\/BNCImageAPI_db4f5133-80f2-4384-b399-b8a72557ed10.jpg?v=1732798404","url":"https:\/\/penguinshop.ca\/products\/9780307279262","provider":"Penguin Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
