Book Reviews of An Acrobat of the Heart: A Physical Approach to Acting Inspired by the Work of Jerzy Grotowski

Book Review: Great acting book, plus wonderful for teaching and Grotowski
Summary: 5 Stars

I was extremely happy about this book. It is set as a term at NY Uni and the approach is wonderful, you learn many techniques and hear many stories that made you think about life. The book it cool for teachers and students alike.
This is not a Grotowskian book, in terms of you learning an immesne amount on the man... yes he is the source, but the book stands alone without Jerzy.
