Sobre IBD

Modern screen acting in English is dominated by two key figures: Method acting guru Lee Strasberg--who taught the ''the art of experiencing'' over ''the art of representing''--and English theater titan Laurence Olivier, who once said of the Method’s immersive approach, ''try acting, it’s so much easier.'' This book explores in detail the work of such method actors as Al Pacino, Ellen Burstyn, Jack Nicholson and Jane Fonda, and charts the shift away from the more internally focused Strasberg-based acting of the 1970s, and towards the more ''external'' way of working, exemplified by the career of Meryl Streep in the 1980s.
