The Collected Series: Five Approaches to Acting

The Five Approaches to Acting Series by David Kaplan is a comprehensive acting approach that deals with theory and practice for both beginning and advanced actors. David Kaplans The Five Approaches to Acting Series contains his five approaches to acting: identifying tasks playing episodes building images learning the world of the play and telling a story. Each approach has its own definition of what it means to act what it means to act well what it means to be a character in a performance on stage and by extension what it means to be a person in real life. Each approach covers history theory and examples of its practice.
