Breath and the Actor
- Synopsis
- Henry Smith has spent many years investigating the relationship between breath, movement and sound, both in Eastern cultures and with Native Americans. In this video record, Smith is seen assisting performers to locate their energy source within breathing and to allow this to move through their bodies in a series of exercises. He then develops this work towards its application in the creation of a character.
