"The actor will do, in public, what is considered impossible." When the renowned Polish director Jerzy Grotowski began his 1967 American workshop with these words, his students were stunned. But within four weeks they themselves had experienced the "impossible."
In An Acrobat of the Heart, teacher-director-playwright Stephen Wangh reveals how Jerzy Grotowski's physical exercises can open a pathway to the actor's inner creativity. Drawing on Grotowski's insights and on the work of Stanislavski, Uta Hagen, and others, Wangh bridges the gap between rigorous physical training and practical scene and character technique. Wangh's students give candid descriptions of their struggles and breakthroughs, demonstrating how to transform these remarkable lessons into a personal journey of artistic growth. Courageous and compelling, An Acrobat of the Heart is an invaluable resource for actors, directors, and teachers alike.

reviewed Acrobat of the Heart: A Physical Approach to Acting Inspired by the Work of Jerzy Grotowski on June 24, 2007 Acrobat of the Heart: A Physical Approach to Acting Inspired by the Work of Jerzy Grotowski
This is one of the best acting books I have ever read. Steven Wangh shows actors how to approach practical material in a most impractical way. He uses the non-traditional physical work of Jerzy Grotowski as a way to enliven and awken the actor's instrument in approaching contemporary works. Some of the exercises were familiar to me and some were totally new and very different than what I have been exposed to in my training. I found Wangh's book very insightful as it offered such a fresh and exciting way to work. He uses a lot of the principles expounded upon by not just Grotowski but such theater luminaires as Anne Bogart, Krisitn Linklater, Yoshi Oida, as well as other pioneers in new millineum training techniques. This book is for actors ready to awaken their bodies, minds, and souls in order to free themselves and achieve their ultimate creative potential.
