Analysis through Action for Actors and Directors is a comprehensive view of an innovative and exciting process for making new theatre.

As well as an understanding of how Analysis through Action has developed over time, this book also demonstrates how it can be put into practice in today's theatre. The first part of this book traces the exciting genealogy from Stanislavsky's unfinished experiments, through the insights of geniuses Maria Knebel and Georgii Tovstonogov, down to today's avant-garde auteurs. The second part is a practical manual based on extensive field testing by the author and colleagues. Here, two key components of the process are elucidated: Text Actions - ten interwoven text analysis steps - to be twinned with the thrilling rehearsal process using focused and joyful improvisations called Études.

Written for new or experienced theatre students and practitioners, this book will enrich the technique of any theatre artist and anyone else interested in the theatre and its future.
