Books like Respect for Acting by Uta Hagen


Uta Hagen’s *Respect for Acting* presents the famed Object Exercises for the first—and perhaps only—time outside her teaching. The book is organized into three parts: The Actor, The Object Exercises, and The Play And The Role. Drawing on lessons taught from 1947 to the 1960s at the Berghof School in New York, where Hagen and Herbert Berghof instructed future Broadway and Hollywood stars, the text covers key concepts such as sense memory, identity, substitution, and more. Hagen also shares insights from her own simultaneous acting career that embody these techniques.
