Acting Chinese is a year-long course that, together with the companion website, integrates language learning with the acquisition of cultural knowledge, and treats culture as an integral part of human behavior and communication. Using modern day examples of Chinese discourse and behavioral culture, it trains students to perform in culturally appropriate fashion, whilst developing a systematic awareness and knowledge about Chinese philosophy, values and belief systems that will prepare them for further advanced study of Chinese language and culture. Each lesson contains simulated real-life communication scenarios that aim to provide a concrete opportunity to see how native speakers generally communicate or behave in social situations. An essential guide for intermediate to advanced level second language learners, Acting Chinese provides a unique and modern approach to the acquisition of both cultural knowledge and language proficiency.
The new, fifth edition of Robert Cohen's Acting One, the text used to teach acting on more campuses than any other, has now been combined for the first time with his Acting Two, (the second edition of his previously-titled Advanced Acting). Together, Acting One/Acting Two provides a comprehensive and fully integrated system of all acting, from the most realistic to the most stylized. Part One (Acting One) covers basic skills such as talking, listening, tactical interplay, physicalizing, building scenes, and making powerful acting choices. Part Two (Acting Two) provides a series of exercises that encourage the student actor's self-extension into radically different styles (historical, literary, fantastical) and characterizations; then coaches the student through scenework in a variety of historical periods (Greek, Commedia, Elizabethan, Molière, Restoration, Belle Epoque), as well as modern hyper-realistic theatrical forms such as the theatres of alienation and the absurd, and exemplary recent dramas by Tony Kushner, Margaret Edson, August Wilson and Doug Wright.
Useful for teaching beginning acting, this text contains twenty-eight lessons based on experiential exercises. It covers basic skills, such as talking, listening, tactical interplay, physicalizing, building scenes, and making good choices.
Many books on acting for beginners approach the subject in an abstract, theoretical way. Rodney Whatley designed Acting: Year One around the environment in which many acting students learn the craft—the college classroom. Skills and concepts are laid out in 31 lessons, mirroring the structure of a 15-week course. Whatley’s down-to-earth, accessible writing engages students, meeting them where they are in their acting journey. The exercises accompanying the text make it easy for instructors to apply what their students read directly in class. Sample grading sheets are included throughout the book, benefiting instructors as well as students, who can learn what criteria they’ll be graded on.
