3.0 out of 5 stars Not a huge fan, but did find some value, January 2, 2008
By Danielle Mari (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
I'm not a huge fan of Meisner's approach... As a director, I note that when actors are devout followers of his methods, they tend to gravitate toward anger in their acting. It makes sense- he's all about the visceral response. And anger "feels" good when you're acting--- feels like you're really doing something. Unfortunately, I think there's a danger of getting so involved with how you feel, that you forget that you're really up there to tell a story to the audience above all else.
That being said, some of the exercises here are great if you're an actor feeling stuck and unemotional; or if you're feeling unconnected from your character. As a director, I certainly can use some of his exercises to promote size in the more timid actors and to get ensembles to gel emotionally.
Worth having, but balance it with some more analytical pieces.
