This book, an essential read in terms of theater pedagogy in Argentina, proposes a set of exercises and games for the training and development of the actor. Jorge Holovatuck and Débora Astrosky, actors and theater teachers with extensive experience, call acting “the great game” and display in these pages an excellent instruction manual on “how to play” and “with what rules.”

From practice and reflection they face the most substantial problems of acting: availability, disinhibition, relaxation, work with the imagination, integration, trust, adaptation, knowledge of dramatic structure and many others. Especially aimed at theater teachers throughout the country, this volume includes, along with numerous exercises, the sections “Reflections for the teacher” and “Notes”, where Holovatuck and Astrosky explain how to carry out a planning model, a course, an annual planning and a class plan.
Soon Atuel will release other writings on theatrical pedagogy by Jorge Holovatuck and Débora Astrosky, who start from the creative slogan: “Give me a point of support and I will move the world.”
