This book is a conversation about acting with noted actor, director and educator Cynthia Henderson. Cynthia takes the reader on a journey to the heart of acting, sharing techniques and exercises she has developed over a lifetime of personal and professional exploration. Drawing from the diverse landscape of what it means to be human, Cynthia creates a space to meet the actor where they are. It is a profound and often humorous guide that is accessible for the beginning actor while inviting the seasoned professional to dive deeper. Her unique insights into actor training form the cornerstone for compelling character development and offer insight into how theatre can be a catalyst for social change. Cynthia's concepts are cutting edge actor training. More than an acting book, this book is an intimate look at the exploration of the human condition and why we do what we do.
