Once actors’ voices could be dubbed into films, montages of musical numbers, dance routines, and comedic scenes that required poise, versatility, and a great degree of skill became popular. In order to be successful on a large scale, actors and actresses needed to be highly trained in all three performance arts, as leading roles required a soaring voice, an agile body, and the chops to act in both dramatic and comedic roles.

Kazan on Directing
Author: Elia Kazan
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307277046
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
Elia Kazan was the twentieth century’s most celebrated director of both stage and screen, and this monumental, revelatory book shows us the master at work. Kazan’s list of Broadway and Hollywood successes—A Streetcar Named Desire, Death of a Salesman, On the Waterfront, to name a few—is a testament to his profound impact on the art of directing. This remarkable book, drawn from his notebooks, letters, interviews, and autobiography, reveals Kazan’s method: how he uncovered the “spine,” or core, of each script; how he analyzed each piece in terms of his own experience; and how he determined the specifics of his production. And in the final section, “The Pleasures of Directing”—written during Kazan’s final years—he becomes a wise old pro offering advice and insight for budding artists, writers, actors, and directors.
