Kiss or Kill: Contact Scenes of Love and Strife for Young Actors Book

Kiss or Kill is a scene-study book for younger actors with a focus on love and fight scenes requiring physical contact between the actors. Fight scenes are difficult to stage and perform believably, and love scenes can be even more challenging. They both require a sensitivity to an actor's scene partner throughout the rehearsal process, and the discipline to switch from being emotionally present in the moment to being physically in control. This collection provides a rare opportunity for younger actors to really learn how to rehearse and perform the difficult maneuvers of romance and battle. The scenes require respect and tact in the rehearsal process, yet they provide actors and audience a wonderful opportunity to experience grand passions!
