Focal Press Objectives, Obstacles, and Tactics in Practice: Perspectives on Activating the Actor

Objectives, Obstacles, and Tactics in Practice: Perspectives on Activating the Actor from Focal Press is the first book that compiles practical approaches of the best practices from a range of practitioners on the subject of working with Stanislavski's objectives, obstacles, and tactics. The book offers instructors and directors a variety of tools from leading acting teachers, who bring their own individual perspectives to the challenge of working with Stanislavski's principles for today's actors, in one volume. Each essay addresses its own theoretical and practical approach and offers concrete instructions for implementing new explorations both in the classroom and in the rehearsal studio.
