Book Description:

Joseph Chaikin's Open Theater was the most celebrated and influential of the experimental companies that rocked American theater in the 1960s. His work in that group and since - as a workshop leader, play creator, and actor - has affected not only the face but also the spirit of American theater. His experiments with ensemble creation have led to such important works as The Serpent, Terminal, Tourists and Refugees, and Tongues, and have shaped new ways for a whole generation of experimental artists to create plays. His two decades of explorations in acting have broken the stranglehold of the Method and "emotion memory" in American actor training. - from the back cover
