Feb 05, J rated it liked it Recommends it for: theater theorists, the thinking actor. Shelves: school. I think what Uta Hagen had to say here could have been said in an essay rather than a page book. And from what other actors have told me, Hagen already said much of this in Respect for Acting anyway, but better.
Regardless, I do not think I will be reading Hagen's other work, because I'm pretty sure I already understand her gist. I'm sure Hagen is a great actress, and a great person. The respect she has for the theatre is admirable, and I appreciate that she tries to get actors to push themse I think what Uta Hagen had to say here could have been said in an essay rather than a page book.
The respect she has for the theatre is admirable, and I appreciate that she tries to get actors to push themselves beyond rote, formulaic actions and representations of emotion. However, I take issue with this book for a few reasons. First, Hagen is a serious snob. She bitches and moans continuously about 'sell-outs', people who do television or film work or even commercial theatre, because they are in it for the money and not the oh-so-important CRAFT.
Well, Uta, not everyone can make a living without doing commercial work. The exercises in this, too, seem like common sense to me - "If a cup needs to be hot, you should pretend that it is hot! I think, ultimately, that Hagen turns the art of acting into too much of a thinking game. She claims that acting does not come naturally to anyone, but I disagree - I think those with strong powers of perception and the ability to imitate have no need for many of her exercises, since accurate and specific imitations come to them without extra effort.
Maybe this book would be helpful with truly atrocious actors, people that never pay attention to other people, but I think for anyone with a real shot at becoming a great actor, this stuff should inherently be a part of what they do, since it's incredibly BASIC. I don't mean to rag on Uta so hard, but I feel like I read pages thinking, "Tell me something I don't know.
Jan 11, B rated it really liked it. I wish Uta Hagen was still alive. I want to go to her house and watch her sit in her favorite seat and smoke ciggarettes with her and ask her a million questions about how the hell she can be the most self aware actor ever without also being the most self concious actor ever. This book is a bit more helpful than her previous acting book, but it still begs many questions. I wonder what student I wish Uta Hagen was still alive. I wonder what students DID call her.
Surely not just Uta. Countess Hagen? Your Magesty? Your Honor? My Leige? Is there a backwards way for your technique to work? I can already hear her retort. And wonderful. She really makes acting seem like so much WORK though.
Where is the Play in all that? It has got to be there somewhere. Though I guess between the Play and the Work is the Craft which seems like a good place to be. So I better get back to work.
Get back to work on playing. View 1 comment. Feb 28, Alison rated it liked it Recommends it for: actors. Even though I haven't been acting for years sometimes I'll do some of these exercises when I'm bored and I'm waiting for someone. They're all about going inside yourself and observing your behavior and then naturally replicating in in front of an audience.
