From the author of the bestselling Talking About Mime comes a practical handbook for the actor on physical expression and movement. The Expressive Body looks at intentional and unintentional movement and gesture as they inform characterization, and how those factors can be used by the actor to enhance performance. Chapters covered include Movement and Gestures, Building a Character, Character Interaction, and movement for Period Plays, and are designed to enable the actor to "rise about a superficial representation of yet another stereotypical stock character to the creation and embodiment of a living, breathing human being." A mime artist of worldwide recognition and critical acclaim, David Alberts has performed and taught throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe.

Pantomime : Elements and Exercises by David Alberts The wordless communication of thoughts and feelings, expressed only through the movement and gestures of the body, is the essence of pantomime. Considered by many the most difficult of the performing arts, pantomime is not only an art in itself, but also a basic underlying element of almost all facets of the performing arts. Pantomime: Elements and Exercises provides an introduction and guide to the essential elements and the specialized exercises of this "art of silence."
