Description

The true star of any play or film is the script. Each creative choice is thinking about making this abstract compilation of dialogue and actions come to breathing, believable life. The Actor’s Script offers a clear, concise, and easily assimilated technique for beginning scriptwork specifically tailored to actors’ requirements and sensibilities. Included are:

  • techniques actors wish to make the script a powerful and limitless resource for creativity, passion, and transformation
  • processes for breaking scenes into playable beats and actions
  • character analysis from textual information, themes, and larger ideas
  • specific playwriting styles
  • and many excerpts and applications from both recent and classic texts.

All discussions are applied to actors’ unique needs with humor and clarity. Actors who read this book will learn to break down a script, create the richest and most varied characters, embody the time frame and script’s unique world, and make allowance the best possible themes and ideas to empassion their choices.

Charles S. Waxberg, playwright, director, and actor, has been developing his technique for script analysis since 1981. He has taught script analysis, playwriting, and acting for Carnegie-Mellon University, Stella Adler Conservatory, New York University–Tisch School of the Arts, and the Roundabout Theatre Conservatory, which he founded and where he served as Conservatory Director. Mr. Waxberg has performed in over 25 productions all over the East Coast and New York City.
