This book introduces the idea of metaphor as a way of thinking rather than simply as clever comparison or figurative language. It demonstrates limitations of ways metaphor has traditionally been used in character development and presents a method for applying structural metaphor to discover rich, in-depth character insights. For directors, the model can serve as an option for guiding character analysis that is less individualistic and actor-specific and more wholistic and cast-inclusive, promoting stronger overall performance unity and production cohesion. In addition to offering a clear, followable guide for character analysis, the authors draw on personal experience to vividly demonstrate how applying this method for character analysis could impact performance and production. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be a useful addition to an actor's or director's set of character development resources.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46438994870423,"sku":"9781032376066","price":2036.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781032376066.webp?v=1769109677","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/exploring-character-through-structural-metaphor-a-guide-for-actors-and-directors-9781032376066","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
