Marissa Chibás, a renowned Latinx actor, writer, filmmaker, and teacher, delves into the realm of mythic imagination and the actor in her book, drawing on her extensive experience spanning over three decades. This comprehensive guide offers an innovative approach to acting that embraces collective imagination, archetypal work, and the mythic. The book begins by conducting a comparative analysis between method acting and mythic acting, encouraging actors to transcend the boundaries of singular life experiences and enter a realm where imagination and metaphor flourish.
In the context of mythic acting, the book explores various aspects, including awareness work, solo performance creation, the power of archetypes, character building exercises, establishing a body/text connection, and becoming the detective of one's artistic process. Through this inclusive guide, performers from diverse backgrounds, including gender, ability, culture, and race, are empowered to push beyond their limits and engage deeply with the infinite possibilities of rich imagination.
The final chapter of the book serves as a motivating force, empowering artists to live a healthy and fulfilling life within their practice while also creating a personal artistic vision plan. Written for actors, students of acting, American Drama, film, and theatre studies, Mythic Imagination and the Actor provides practical exercises and prompts to unlock and interpret an actor's deepest creative sources.
