Inhaltsangabe

Freeing the Actor is the seventh in a series of acting books by Eric Morris, which explain and describe his unique system of acting. In this book, which is totally aimed at the instrument, Eric has implemented a complete approach to eliminating the obstacles, dependencies, traps, and habits that plague and block actors from functioning from an authentic, organic place. By teaching actors how not to act, Eric leads them to understand that they must experience in reality what the character is experiencing in the material. In order to accomplish that, they must be instrumentally free to connect with and express their authentic emotional realities. Liberating the instrument allows them to access all of the colors of their emotional rainbow.

Historically, in the training of actors, the instrument has been neglected and overlooked, and, as a result, actors with fewer instrumental blocks have been able to function fairly well, while the others, who may have been even more gifted, were relegated to suffering the obstacles that strangled their talent. Doctors have a Desk Reference that they can consult in order to get answers about certain drugs and treatments. In the same way, this book is a desk reference for actors, in which they can find help to address and eliminate the blocks that keep them from functioning. It will also be very helpful to directors who are dealing with actors who have problems in the creative process. I hope that acting teachers who read this book will use many of the exercises herein to help free their students from the blocks and obstacles that keep them from being instrumentally free to act.
