Performing in Comedy : A Student's Guide PDF
by Ian (University of London Institute for Education) Wilkie
Description
Ian Wilkie contends that comic acting is a distinct art form, and as such demands a unique skillset.
By exploring the ways in which performance choices and improvised moments can work in conjunction with texts themselves, Performing in Comedy offers an indispensable practical tool for enhancing comic performance. This volume is a must-read for any actors, directors or students who work with comic texts.
Wilkie synthesises theories and principles of comedy with practical tips, and re-evaluates the ways in which these ideas can be used by the performer.
Most importantly, these skills – timing, focus, awareness – are teachable rather than being innate talents.
Exercises, interviews and guides to further resources enhance this comprehensive exploration of comic acting.
