Summary "The Actor with a Thousand Faces is a movement-based guidebook compendium, resource workbook, and practical manual for students, teachers, and theatre practitioners who are dedicated to the advancement of ensemble work. Beginning with the creation of a fundamental movement vocabulary, Olsen takes the reader through the basic stages of practical silhouettes, warm-ups, physical discoveries, rhythm games, and imagination based explorations that lead to the eventual acquisition of more advanced skills. These skills are then applied to group dynamics in unique ways that recapture the sacred and inspire renewal."--BOOK JACKET
