This week, Max and Kelley discuss three books that have helped shape their lives as creatives and actors.  The first is An Acrobat of the Heart by Stephan Wangh, a physical approach to acting.  This is a link to Stephan Wangh's website, which includes more on his most recent projects. The second is Games for Actors and Non-Actors by Augusto Boal, which includes more games about acting and the origins of the Theater of Oppressed.  This is a website that goes into more detail about Augusto and his methods.  Lastly, Kelley reads from a book that has influenced how she teaches improv and acting. Improvisation for the Theater by Viola Spolin, the creator of theater games, and a system of actor training that uses games she devised to teach the formal rules of the theater organically.  Here is a link to a website that explains her influence on the world of acting. Her son, Paul Sills, founded Chicago's world-famous Second City improvisational theater.  You can purchase the books on the websites or on Amazon.
