An Actor's Guide to Walking the Razor's Edge (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780578179384)

Michael S. Pieper guides an actor to look at the human condition from the prospective of a shaman. That we have three selves, the Basic self, the Conscious self and the Higher self. Contained in these three selves are the physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual sides of the human condition. This method of acting centers around developing tools from these four parts to create a well-rounded character. It will empower the actor with the necessary core skills to take responsibility of their own growth and learning as well as challenging actors to make bold choices and get up on that razor's edge to create dynamic performances. Like that of a shaman's, an actor's journey must be spiritual in order to truly inspire their audiences. Michael S. Pieper has been teaching acting since 1988. He is currently the Head of the Acting Program at the Second City Training Center in Chicago. Michael has directed over 94 productions and acted in over 40 productions.
