Acting - The First Six Lessons

"Acting - The First Six Lessons" is a collection of essays by Richard Boleslavsky. Written in the form of a series of dialogues, these lessons aim to inform and instruct the budding actor on some of the basic principles of acting and learning to act. A novel approach to teaching acting techniques, this volume is highly recommended for novices and young actors or actresses looking to hone their abilities. Richard Boleslavsky (1889 - 1937) was a Polish theatre director, actor and teacher. Other notable works by this author include: "The Way of the Lancer" (1932), "Lances Down" (1932), and "New Features in Acting" (1935). Contents include: "Richard Boleslavsky", "Introduction", "The First Lesson", "The Second Lesson", "The Third Lesson", "The Fourth Lesson", "The Fifth Lesson", and "The Sixth Lesson". Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
