- Summary
- "Marowitz examines every aspect of contemporary theatre practice including auditions, first-readings, the rehearsal process, classical techniques and performance art. He delves beyond sub-text, probing the labyrinth that exists beneath conventional psychology. Rethinking Stanislavsky, debunking Strasberg, filtering and reconstituting the ideas of Bertolt Brecht and Antonin Artaud, Marowitz comes up with a tantalizing new brew of ideas with which actors and directors can ply their craft into the new millennium.
- The Other Way delivers a devastating critique of contemporary method practices of Konstantin Stanislavsky disciples such as Lee Strasberg and Sanford Meisner, and defines the actor in terms of the modern influences which are rapidly transforming them."--Jacket.
