More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
What is good acting? How does one create believable characters? How can an actor understand a character if they do not understand themselves?
In The Science of Acting, Sam Kogan uses his theories on the relationship between neuroscience, psychology and acting to answer these questions. Practical exercises provide a step-by-step guide to developing an actor's ability, culminating in Ten Steps to Creating a Character.
He presents the reader with a groundbreaking understanding of the subconscious and how it can be applied to their acting. The author’s highly original perspective on Stanislavski's teaching gives readers a unique insight into their character’s minds.
Sam Kogan studied at the Moscow Institute of Theatre Arts (now the Russian Academy of Theatre Arts) under the tutelage of Professor Maria Knebel. He established The Science of Acting, a complete stand-alone technique.
Helen Kogan is the chair and former principal of The Academy of Science of Acting and Directing, has helped to shape her father's words and work for the publication of this book.

"The Science" is perhaps the most influential book I have ever read. I read it twice, from cover to cover, before coming up for air.
That "The Science" is a must-read for any actor is plain to see from as early as the book's Introduction. But I am not an actor. Nor am I a scientist. I am someone who has read the book through sheer curiosity and I can tell you now that it has taught me more about myself than living in my own sceptical skin for 30 years has done.
The book has opened up my consciousness and has inspired me to ask questions of myself: Why do I do what I do and think what I think? Am I in control of my own thoughts and actions? Can I change my thoughts to make me a happier, more fulfilled individual? Can I apply positive thoughts and energy to all I do?
The answers? Well they are limitless. "The Science" has made me realise that I can achieve anything I want to achieve and be anything I want to be by spending a little quality time with my thoughts. I could even become an actor!
Lights, camera, action! Five Stars.

This book really is a must for anyone who is serious about the art and science of acting. Based on many years of teaching, it updates the craft, bringing it into the realms of consciousness work, making it the first really new information since Stanislavsky and the Method. This work was taken over as a labor of love by the daughter of acting teacher Sam Kogan after he died. She has assured him his place of contributing to the craft for posterity asn one of the bright lights in the firmament.

Whether you are an actor or not I strongly recommend this book. I've always been tempted by acting and I'm glad this is the first book on acting I read.
Sam Kogan's approach takes you through a step by step journey which not only clarifies what great acting is about but also helps you understand how self-awareness can bring the space you need in your mind to act well and also live well.
This book is amasing and if you have any interest in acting or even just yourself...GET ITThe Science of Acting
