THE BOOK
Exercises for Embodied Actors: Tools for Physical Actioning by Scott Illingworth is a comprehensive workbook for actors and teachers alike including over 50 innovative exercises. The book leads actors through a rigorous examination of their own habits, links those discoveries to creating characters, and offers dozens of exercises to explore in classrooms and with ensembles. The result is a modern toolkit that empowers actors to start from their own unique selves and delivers specific techniques to apply on stage and in front of the camera.
This step-by-step guide can be used by actors working individually or by teachers crafting the arc of a course, ensuring that students explore in physically engaged and dynamic ways at every step of their process.
