Life and ActingTechniques for the Actor
Format: Paperback
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Arriving in America as a teenage Holocaust refugee, Jack Garfein would soon rise to the top of his field. Life and Acting is the product of more than sixty years in the world of theater and film, offering the kind of insight only gained by experience as both a teacher and practitioner. In Garfein's case, his experience is unparalleled--he has worked with a who's who of twentieth-century acting, especially those associated with the Actors Studio, the West Coast arm of which Garfein cofounded.
In Life and Acting, Garfein distills his experience into a holistic technique for learning and teaching. "The Beginning" functions as a kind of memoir, focusing on Garfein's own education in the theater. "The Art" describes how Garfein's exposure to nontheater artists, particularly painters and writers, has contributed to his understanding of acting. "Basic Training" offers thirty-seven detailed lessons for teaching acting. In "Training for Film," Garfein applies his principles to acting in front of a camera.
Like Uta Hagen's Respect for Acting and other classics of this genre, Life and Acting will be an invaluable resource for teachers as well as students.
