Memorization Secrets from Performing Artists

Beschreibung

In 2014, Brent Sverdloff published his first memory-related book about mastering names and faces. Now he's back with this collection of more than 40 interviews with performing arts professionals-actors, singers, musicians, and playwrights-who share their approaches to memorization. Gathered over three years, these interviews offer creative and effective strategies to help us all improve our memory, on stage and off. The methods used by performers to get into character show us how to increase our mental agility, be more present, and raise our awareness of the power of language.
