Her classroom was in the New York City Center and she sat on a throne.Īlong with her lectures she usually had students read "The Prophet" by Kahlil Gibran and "Letters to a Young Poet" by Rilke, which are very mystical but clarify a lot of what she bases her assertions on, and I think well worth reading on their own. Also her acting theory is for realism, and she believes that the only way to act realism is to play the poetry, so elevation is huge for her- but only if it comes from understanding of your responsibility. Her acting theory is basically grounded in discriminating details about your situation and recognizing the social significance of those details so that you can elevate the piece. This is something that I will cherish for the rest of my life. I truly recommend this book who has an interest in acting, or an interest in literature and life in general. It taught me how to truly appreciate the life that surrounds me, and how to be a generous person who gives and doesn’t hoard out of greed. It gave me a powerful insight on acting and the art itself. “The Art Of Acting” by Stella Adler was a phenomenal book to read. Everything has meaning and purpose, because its been there longer than you have, and that is what fuels your imagination. “As actors, you must realize that what you see is a miracle simply because it exists.” (Adler 48). Showing how everything has a meaning and purpose. She also taught me to become a better person, and live life as a unique individual who truly loves and appreciates the wondrous world around me. Stella Adler speaks on how she can’t make you become an actor, she could only reveal that path, but it is all up to you if you want to make that effort, and follow it. I felt that each chapter in the book managed to convey Adler's message clearly and powerfully. This ultimately makes you feel like her real student, and in some instances, making me feel pretty intimidated because I was in the presence of one of the most influential teachers and mentors in the industry. Stella Adler is speaking to you and the rest of her class, and asks you to work on exercises to develop your own voice. The book is presented in a way that makes you feel that you are physically present in her class because of its structure and tense. It also showed me how to truly appreciate life and what it has to offer. It has inspired me to pursue a fun career in acting. “The Art of Acting” by Stella Adler was truly a great book to read.
