Debuting it its first edition, Acting: The Gister Method moves from the beginning process of establishing character and given circumstances, through Gister’s unique principle of action, and into step-by-step examples of applying the ideas to plays, scenes and monologues. Along with a reader-friendly breakdown of the theoretical aspect of his method, the book contains many down-to-earth examples of experimenting and playing via the imagination and of putting the methods to work in real-life rehearsal and theatre situations.
