Overview
The Actor, A Script, And An Ox The starting point of this book is the ancient Zen poem, Riding the Ox Home by Kaku-an Shi'en, a Zen master of the Sung Dynasty. The poem is a metaphor for enlightenment. It is used here as a way of discussing enlightened acting. The book examines famous Zen expressions through the lens of the theatre artist. Many times, when we are pursuing our career, we get side-tracked. We care too much about the party we were not invited to or the audition we missed. We think, "If only I did this or that." But a life in the theatre is a lifelong pursuit and those things are just momentary distractions. If we keep on course our chances of success increase. This book will help you keep focused.
