A broad examination of Method acting’s place in performance theory and training

Method Acting Reconsidered brings together theater scholars and acting teachers to examine a major and contested American approach to performance. Organized around theory, practice, and future application, the collection places Method principles in conversation with other performance theories instead of treating them in isolation. Its scope addresses both the Method’s influence on American acting and questions about how actors and teachers might approach it in the twenty-first century. With multiple contributors and an emphasis on acting theory as well as practical concerns, the book is positioned as a study of Method acting’s continuing role, debates, and possible directions.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Actors and acting students exploring Method-based training
  • Theater scholars studying American performance traditions
  • Acting teachers seeking perspectives on theory and practice

Book overview

Method Acting is one of the most popular and controversial approaches to acting in the United States. It has not only shaped important schools of acting, but has been a fundamental constant of all American acting. This insightful volume explores Method Acting from a broad perspective, focusing on a point of equilibrium between the principles of the Method and its relationship to other theories of performance. David Krasner has gathered together some of the most well-known theater scholars and acting teachers to look at the Method. By concentrating on three areas of the Method - its theory, practice, and future application - the collection will serve to inform and teach us how to approach acting and acting theory in the 21st century.
