Best Books on Acting and Improvisation
How to Stop Acting - By Harold Guskin
Improvise - Scene from the Inside Out - Mick Napier
Both these books are very anti-establishment, which I personally like. I feel they both contain advice on some of the best ways to get out of the "being an actor/improviser" mindset and start "being an artist who captures attention" mindset.
These are not books for those that want to do everything by the book, march to the beat of other people's drums, or be a policeman for the "rules of improvisation," or "an acting method or system".
These books best serve the individual. The Artist who knows they are unique, or longs to be unique and struggles with that idea. And, I believe that a true individual is vital to society and for change to happen.
You don't have to do it by fighting the system, you can do it just by doing what you want to do and letting the ripples go out as they may.
"Follow your bliss" - Joseph Campbell
