The purpose of this study is to enrich the process of bringing dream images to life. This work explores the convergent depth foundations of dream-work and acting technique. It offers ways to deepen dream interpretation through the use of an actor's craft. Stanislavski, Brecht, Grotowski and Chaikin are significant theatre directors and acting technique innovators. Their contributions to the actors, craft are examined for their connections to the unconscious upon which they built their creative frameworks. Specific acting exercises marking the corner stones of their systems are enumerated. Freud's, Jung's, Hillman's and Gendlin's psychological theories are investigated particularly in relation to their beliefs regarding dreams. They are further explored for specific techniques related to dream-work. The study concludes with applications to psychotherapy. Procedures employed by an actor to decode a playwright's script in order to understand the meaning of a character, are specifically applied to dream-work. An approach is offered to derive more meaning from dreams through a progression of steps corresponding to the actors, craft.

This is a wholly new tool with which actors can unleash startling performances.

In the dream theatre, dreams are re-enacted in the group context. The group members embody their dream images and the dream images of the other members to re-enact psyche's play. While embodying, one engages in imaginal or scripted dialogues, experiences the gestural field of the other players, and explores the landscape of the dream. The participants live in the active imagination. This work is concerned with exploring the dream theatre from a phenomenological approach. Moustakas' heuristic method is used to examine the experience of being a dream theatre participant. Six participants were ask the open-ended question: "What was your experience as you embodied the dream image and re-enacted your dream, as you re-enacted the dreams of the other members, and as you watched dreams being re-enacted?" These participants were members of a dream theatre group that was formed at Pacifica Graduate Institute for a 2-year period. The data derived was analysed to create a composite depiction of the experience-five individual portraits that exemplify the experience, and a creative synthesis of the experience. Throughout cultural history, the humans' proclivity towards re-enactment is exhibited. The origins of theatre in Greek civilization are derived from ritual and pageantry dedicated to the god Dionysus. Aspects of the theories of Freud, Jung, Klein, and Winnicott that are foundational to re-enactment of the dream are discussed. Also, contemporary imaginal psychology is presented as intrinsically supportive to dream re-enactment. A compilation of psychophysical techniques, which can be used to open up one's experience of the dream in the theatrical context, are presented including the unpublished work of dream theatre director Jon Lipsky and the sensory work of Stanislavski. This study indicates that embodiment of the dream image and re-enactment of the dream opened up the dream for most members in ways that they believed could not have been experienced in exclusively verbal therapy. The experience of living in the dream is collectively described as providing a feeling of wholeness, a coming together of body and soul. This study demonstrates that embodying the dream image in the theatre is an important means towards healing the mind/body split.

“The definitive source book on acting.”—Los Angeles Times Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Paul Newman, Dustin Hoffman, Dennis Hopper, Robert DeNiro, Marilyn Monroe, and Joanne Woodward—these are only a few of the many actors training in “Method” acting by the great and legendary Lee Strasberg. This revolutionary theory of acting—developed by Stanislavski and continued by Strasberg—has been a major influence on the art of acting in our time. During his last decade, Strasberg devoted himself to a work that would explain once and for all what The Method was and how it worked, as well as telling the story of its development and of the people involved with it. The result is a masterpiece of wisdom and guidance for anyone involved with the theater in any way. “A must for young actors—for old ones, too, for that matter.”—Paul Newman “An exploration of the creative process that will reward all who are interested in the nature of inspiration.”—Library Journal “An important cultural document.”—Booklist

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.

Considered to be one of the most revolutionary composers of the twentieth century, Iannis Xenakis pushed the boundaries of classical music. As a largely self-taught composer, Xenakis drew from his technical training in engineering and architecture to produce music that had the ability to both unnerve and enrapture his audiences. Motivated by his intense study of many scientific disciplines, he employed the mathematical rules of the natural world to test the traditional rules of counterpoint and harmony, and to explore the spatial texture of sound, colour and architecture. The Romanian-born Greek-French composer transformed twentieth century classical music for decades to come, leaving behind an undeniable legacy that continues to inspire and even shock listeners to this day. By approaching Xenakis’s creative output from a variety of perspectives, the contributors to this edited volume seek not only to situate Xenakis’s music within a larger cultural, social and political context but also to shed light on contemporary issues surrounding his work. Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of Xenakis’s music (in the context of particular works) and musical philosophy: mathematical, structural, performative, as well as the genesis of his compositional style and distinctive sound. Xenakis’s artistic presence on the contemporary music scene, his political influence during the tumultuous protests in Paris ’68, and his first piano composition, Herma, are also explored in-depth providing new insights into the life and work of this avant-garde figure. This book will appeal to contemporary music researchers, students and scholars and may also be of interest to artists, performers and composers, alike.
