Acting, Imaging, and the Unconscious is the fifth in a series of books written by Eric Morris on his unique system of acting. In this book the emphasis is on imaging as an acting tool to fulfill dramatic material. The work begins with an exploration of the various uses of imaging and goes on to delineate very specific techniques and approaches on how to image, when to image and why. Involved in this process are dreams and dreaming, as well as subpersonalities, which all serve to access and communicate with the unconscious, where ninety-five per cent of an actor's talent lives. Also explored is a process of programming the unconscious to liberate the images that lie at the core of an actor's experience and talent, thus releasing the exciting wellsprings of creativity in the roles an actor plays. With complete examples taken from classical and contemporary plays and films, this book enters territories that had never before been tread upon, thus taking the art of acting into a totally new dimension.

Freeing the Actor is the seventh in a series of acting books by Eric Morris, which explain and describe his unique system of acting. In this book, which is totally aimed at the instrument, Eric has implemented a complete approach to eliminating the obstacles, dependencies, traps, and habits that plague and block actors from functioning from an authentic, organic place. By teaching actors how not to act, Eric leads them to understand that they must experience in reality what the character is experiencing in the material. In order to accomplish that, they must be instrumentally free to connect with and express their authentic emotional realities. Liberating the instrument allows them to access all of the colors of their emotional rainbow.

Darryl Hickman was thirty years old, starring in a Broadway musical, when he took his first acting lesson. He had appeared in almost 100 films before he was eighteen. The director John Ford called him "a natural;" he made it all look easy. He has been an actor, song-and-dance man, writer, director, producer, and CBS executive. In this book, Hickman writes about the actors, writers, and directors he came to know--and learn from--during a career that spanned four decades. He writes about how he was inspired by the ideas of the Russian master, actor-director-teacher Constantin Stanislavsky, revealing how those ideas influenced the development of his own unique Process which has informed his work as actor and teacher. Here he describes his innovative Process, a step-by-step way to learn how to act on the stage or in front of a camera. He shows you how to trust your impulses, and how to add craftsmanship and a conscious use of the mechanics of creativity to arrive at an integrated, well-balanced performance. But The Unconscious Actor is not just for actors--it's for everyone. We live in a performance-oriented society. High standards are demanded of us in the classroom, at the office, on the athletic field, in the boardroom, and in our personal lives. Hickman makes clear that we all have the tools to become outstanding performers, demonstrating how to make use of those tools with skill and precision. Many of those who have taken Hickman's workshop have gone on to become award-winning actors, writers and producers, oil magnates, college professors, world-travel consultants, even top executives. Their stories prove that, by applying the principles outlined in this book, it's possible for the motivated reader to reach the pinnacle of success in his or her chosen field.--Adapted from jacket.

A collection of 125 acting exercises that are based on journal excerpts and dialogues from Mr. Morris' classes. These exercises teach the actor to systematically eliminate his or her instrumental obstacles -- tensions, fears, inhibitions -- and explore the "being" state, where the actor does no more and no less than what he or she feels. As the title indicates, many of the techniques herein address the actor's need to avoid falling into the traps of concept and presentational acting. There is also a complete chapter on sense memory -- what it is, and how to practice it and apply it as an acting tool. Co-authored by Joan Hotchkis, and with a Foreword by Jack Nicholson.

ATTENTION ACTORS!!!!! If you've ever struggled to remember your lines, the creative memorization techniques taught in LINE? will help you break through your mental blocks and accelerate the line memorization process. Author Jared Kelner has applied his experience as an actor and acting teacher and combined that with his expertise as a memory improvement trainer and created an imagination and sensory based process for actors to use when memorizing lines. It's an innovative approach to line memorization that taps into the actor's imagination and acting training rather than relying on monotonous rote memorization methods like highlighting, recording and repeating lines over and over. By applying the creative memorization methods presented in LINE? you will instantly recall your lines. --- INDUSTRY ENDORSEMENTS "I have been teaching acting for over 50 years and I rarely come across innovations to the craft process that I believe in and support. Without hesitation, I fully endorse and recommend Jared Kelner's book LINE? The Creative Way for Actors to Quickly Memorize Monologues and Dialogues. Every actor must memorize lines and most actors look at the line memorization process as something outside of the craft of acting, but in fact, it is very much an integral part of the craft process and as such, actors need a craft technique to help them. In his book LINE?, Jared Kelner brings something inventive, innovate and important to the craft of acting. The technique of imaging that Jared teaches for line memorization mirrors imaging concepts I share in my book Acting, Imaging and the Unconscious. I am pleased to endorse Jared Kelner and his contribution to our craft. LINE? is a must read for every actor." Eric Morris: Actor, Acting Teacher and Author of "No Acting Please," "Being and Doing," "Irreverent Acting," "Acting From the Ultimate Consciousness," "Acting, Imaging and the Unconscious," "The Diary of a Professional Experiencer" and "Freeing the Actor" --- "I wish I had a dime for every actor who has told me their biggest fear was memorizing lines. So I was delighted when I discovered Jared Kelner and was able to introduce him to my students. The response to LINE? Was so positive. The actors felt they had received valuable tools to overcome their fears and move forward in their work with confidence. Jared's positive enthusiastic style is so encouraging it's a pleasure to be in the classroom with him." Valerie Adami: Owner/Director Weist Barron Acting for Film & TV --- "OK Actors, Quiet your mind and get this book. It will change your life for knowing your lines forever." Tim Phillips: Founder of The Tim Phillips Studio in Los Angeles and author of "Audition for Your Career, Not the Job: Mastering the On-camera Audition" --- "Bottom line, the memory techniques taught in LINE? work. Any actor who's ever struggled to remember their lines needs to buy this book and read it right away. I only wish I learned this memorization method years ago." Javier Molina: Associate Director of the Action Theatre Conservatory and Lifetime Member of the Actors Studio --- "Whether you're a novice cast in a community theatre production or a professional actor whose Teflon brain is causing you to lose jobs, LINE? will save your life. This is the best monologue and dialogue memorization system that I have ever come across. Jared Kelner breaks the process down into simple steps that will help you memorize your lines quickly and creatively. I am highly recommending this book to the students I teach and the actors I direct." Gerry Appel: Director of The Playhouse Acting Academy ---
