El arte de actuar

The art of acting constitutes a valuable compendium of the teachings of Stella Adler, focused mainly on attention, recognition and an open attitude to the world. From her She applied her own method, based on Stanislavski's principles but with notable differences: for her, talent, effort, as well as self-esteem are the pillars of a good performance. Her lectures were reproduced and assembled in 1988 by Howard Kissel with the help of Glenn Young, both leading theater critics, based on recordings, notes taken by her students, and lectures and interviews.
