A constructivist approach to Practical Aesthetics training

This compact acting-pedagogy guide brings constructivist teaching principles to Practical Aesthetics, the actor-training system developed by David Mamet in the mid-1980s. Its subject is not only the method itself but the classroom work of teaching it: how an instructor can frame actor training through a learning model centered on construction of knowledge. With its focus on a defined technique and an explicit educational approach, the book sits at the intersection of performance practice and theatre instruction.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Acting teachers exploring constructivist pedagogy
  • Theatre educators working with Practical Aesthetics
  • Actors and instructors interested in David Mamet’s training system
