About the book There is no acting formula, and no directing "key." Evolutionary Theater is a book of exercises and techniques to help actors, teachers, and directors get started and dive deeper into the process. It's called Evolutionary Theater because the process evolves and gets better. It's not about being the best actor, or getting to an end result. It is more a continuous process of exploration.
