Rezensionen

"In his compelling, informative, and eminently readable new book, David Chambers wishes to play his part in explaining and popularizing this revelatory form of practice, unlocking its principles for new generations of students and practitioners. [...] Overall, Chambers' book is an important addition to the growing literature on Active Analysis. It is an outstanding resource for lecturers, conservatoire-level teachers, and professional practitioners, and could support the learning of advanced undergraduates who were exploring these techniques through practical instruction. For Stanislavskians who find themselves Analysis-through-Action-curious, it is a rousing, challenging, and thought-provoking read, and, whether or not one finishes the book a convert, it may well inspire a profound examination of what one's practice has been in the past and what it could be in the future."
