Teaching Actors: Knowledge Transfer in Actor Training

By Ross W. Prior

Teaching Actors draws on history, literature, and original research conducted across leading drama schools in England and Australia, to offer those involved in actor training a critical framework within which to think about their work. Prior, who brings to this volume more than twenty years of experience as both a teacher and performer in the field, devotes particular attention to the different ways in which teachers and students acquire and share knowledge through practical craft-based experience. The first book-length treatment of how actor trainers work-and understand their work-Teaching Actors will be an invaluable educational resource in an increasingly important area of theatre training and research.
