The invisible actor

Sobre el libro The invisible actor de Lorna Marshall i Yoshi Oida publicado por Methuen al 1997:

Yoshi Oida is completely unique. A Japanese actor and director who has worked mainly in the West as a member of Peter Brook´s theatre company in Paris, he blends the oriental tradition of supreme and studied control with the Western performer´s need to characterise and expose depths of emotion. In this practical and captivating study of the actor´s art written with Lorna Marshall, Yoshi Oida explains that once the audience becomes openly aware of the actor´s method and becomes too conscious of the actor´s artistry, the wonder of performance dies. The audience must never see the actor but only his or her performance. Throughout Lorna Marshall provides a running commentary on Yoshi Oida´s work and methods which help you understand the achievement of this singular theatrical artist.
