TEAM for Actors: A Holistic Approach to Embodied Acting
Laura Bond’s book, TEAM for Actors A Holistic Approach to Embodied Acting, has just been published.
I’m proud to have a copy on my shelf — and I’m totally honored and excited to have two of my plays included in it (Appendix C: Scenes by Sam Post for Practice).
Thank you, Laura. Break a leg with this book!
Laura and I have become email friends and I hope to meet her in person one of these days. She’s awesome.
I’m not an actor, but it’s obvious that her book is fresh, innovative, and comprehensive — a valuable
and unique contribution to field. I have no doubt students in schools far and wide will create themselves in these pages for years to come.
TEAM for Actors She’s Chair of the Drama Department at the University of North Carolina, Asheville. She is an Equity actor, theatre director, international workshop instructor, and teacher of acting since 1992.
TEAM for Actors gives you reliable tools for successful
acting and helps resolve a common gap between the mind and body so you can create a dynamic, holistic performance.
Based on Laura Bond’s twenty years of teaching acting and somatic emotion-regulation techniques, TEAM for Actors provides tangible methods for integrating the thoughts, emotions, and actions of expressive behavior into acting. The book incorporates scientific research, traditional acting approaches, and aspects of the Alba Emoting technique, a reliable method for embodying emotions and actions of expression. With Bond’s guidance, you can easily move from theoretical concepts into practical application. She illustrates the TEAM’s use through true stories, practical examples, and original exercises derived from years of experimentation.
