Book Description
An essential companion for actors in rehearsal - a thesaurus of action words to revitalise performance. Actors need actions. They cannot act moods. They need to be doing something with every line. They need verbs. They need an aim to achieve, and an action selected to help achieve that aim. 'Actions' are active verbs. 'I tempt you.' 'You taunt me.' In order to perform an action truthfully and therefore convincingly, an actor needs to find exactly the right action to suit that particular situation and that particular line. That is where this book comes in ... It is a thesaurus of active verbs, with which the actor can refine the action-word until s/he hits exactly the right one to help make the action come alive. It looks like this: taunt insult, tease, torment, provoke, ridicule, mock, poke, needle tempt influence, attract, entice, cajole, coax, seduce, lure, fascinate It is well known in the acting community that random lists of action-words circulate rehearsal rooms in dog-eared photocopies - as a sort of actor's crib. This book makes them available for the first time in an organised and comprehensive form.

This amazing little book introduces your child to 40 ACTION words (verbs). But then it goes a step further and puts the same 40 words in 40 short sentences while introducing -ing, which is a very important way to describe action in English. This book activates your child's inner genius by leveraging the language wiring and logic already "pre-installed" at birth! We take the "Pixar Approach"--meaning adults will enjoy sharing these words as much as the babies will love learning by carefully selecting the right images that promote simple conversations about everyday phrases.
