The actor, too, has the right and the means to enter through the mysterious gates and struggle to awaken'. Olsen describes his own education as a theatre professional who insists on combining self-development and universal ideals with his stage practice. This collection of informal essays is connected by the author's belief that theatre has many of the same aims as spiritual practice. Topics include theatre history, Stanislavski -- the mystic realist, higher purpose, sexual energy and acting, channeling, and others. The inclusion of a set of practical exercises, suitable for workshop or classroom settings, makes this an ideal introductory book for anyone with an interest in acting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gateways Books \u0026amp; Tapes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/1989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780895560582\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128","brand":"Mark Olsen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52933475467445,"sku":"9780895560582","price":13.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-golden-buddha-changing-masks-essays-on-the-spiritual-dimensions-of-acting-9780895560582","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
