For those that already know about the craft of acting and have studied the art form, I highly recommend this book. Epstein lays out his plans for actors to work "moment-to-moment" from a physical understanding of the craft. Many of his exercises pull from a variety of sources and enable an actor to understand the implications of "The Method" and the teachings of Stanislavski as they relate to their own physicality. This book may be difficult for undergraduate students to comprehend by simply reading, but the exercises and the purpose of them will give them endless moments where their acting has "dropped in" and starts to become clearer to themselves and their audiences.
