Acting One/Acting Two
McGraw-Hill, 2008
This is the fifth edition of Cohen’s Acting One, combined with the second, fully revised edition of his Advanced Acting. In combination, says one outside peer reviewer, “Mr. Cohen is approaching as definitive an acting course textbook there is ever likely to be. I find the material accessible, relevant and eminently teachable.” (Murray McGibbon, Assoc Prof Theatre and Drama Indiana University)
Cohen’s lifetime goal has been to integrate the study and practice of acting in realistic dramas with performing in the great range of drama - from tragedy to farce, prose drama to verse and music theatre, and the classical past to the contemporary avant-garde.
To this end, Cohen has united the fifth edition of his Acting One, long the leading acting text in the United States (now also translated into Korean, Hungarian and Romanian), which explores the basic task of interacting, essentially as oneself, as if in approximately real-life environments, in concert with Acting Two: which concerns acting, often as a character wildly different from oneself, in styles including Greek tragedy, Shakespearean verse, Restoration comedy, Oscar Wilde’s witty banter, and the “hypertheatre” of Eugene Ionesco, Bertolt Brecht, and contemporary dramatists. And – which is most important – Cohen shows the links which make such acting emanating directly from the core of realistic acting principles introduced in Acting One.
This double-volume, therefore, creates an integrated and immediately accessible approach to acting that ties together styles and methods of acting long thought to be virtually irreconcilable..
