reviewed For the Love of It: The Heart of the Actor on March 25, 2012 For the Love of It: The Heart of the Actor
Exercises described are contextualized through accounts of Frantic Assembly's shows, thus not one-offs, but you can see how they transpose physical movement into theatrical storytelling. Would have appreciated an appendix list of music for exercises that the authors refer to in describing many examples - it's named, just scattershot throughout the chapters. Also, it helped me to go online and look for video of the exercises to expand comprehension of how to implement some details of their working methods. I also would have appreciated a kind of "skeleton" outline of the move by move steps for each exercise to have in hand as reference when working with a group. Nevertheless, the physical ideas they relay as springboards for a more physically engaged theatrical form is illuminating.
