Acting: Walking the Tightrope of an Illusion: Zen Lessons for Actors in Life and Onstage

Acting: Walking the Tightrope of an Illusion invites readers to take a front-row seat in an advanced, experimental workshop taking place each Sunday morning in New York City's legendary HB Studio. In Michael Beckett's class, working on scenes or developing new material is meditation-in-action, a doorway to an experience of Zen. Going far beyond technique as such, Michael invites his students to explore the deeper realms of the human psyche and consciousness. In these pages, the alert and receptive reader will find keys -- keys to unlock the creativity and confidence that comes to those with the courage and adventurous spirit to embark on a whole new way of experiencing reality, both in life and on the stage.
