We are delighted to announce that The Heart of Teaching: Empowering Students in the Performing Arts is now available. The Heart of Teaching speaks to experienced teachers and beginning teachers in all disciplines, but is particularly relevant to those in the performing arts, from which most of its examples are drawn. It brings essential insight and honesty to the discussion of how to teach.
When working through a scene with a student, renowned actor and acting teacher Al Ruscio will ask, ‘so therefore, what?’ to urge them to capture the specific actions and desires that define their character at that moment. So Therefore… interweaves tried-and-tested practical exercises with sound advice, and illustrative tales from Ruscio’s remarkable career, to form a training handbook as uniquely pragmatic as his favorite phrase.

New Theatre Quarterly book review of An Actress Prepares by Rosemary Malague:
‘Vigorously and persuasively positioning ‘feminist consideration of Method actor training’ as ‘not passé’, but ‘past due’, Malague’s book not only robustly highlights the gendered techniques and assumptions underlying the training, but displays the potential of these techniques to become sources of empowerment for the female actor.’ – Alissa Clark, New Theatre Quarterly
Featuring: cupcakes and transatlantic celebrations for the launch of the RPA; press coverage, rave reviews and endorsements; and new content from the Victoria and Albert Museum in London for 2013.
Actor Training expands on Alison Hodge’s highly-acclaimed and best-selling Twentieth Century Actor Training.
