The Invisible Actor

More about the book

Blending Eastern and Western theatrical traditions, Yoshi Oida explores the essence of acting in this insightful study. He emphasizes the importance of subtlety and control, arguing that the actor's technique should remain invisible to the audience. Co-authored with Lorna Marshall, the book offers practical tools for performers, aiming to keep the focus on the art of the performance rather than the actor's methods. Oida's philosophy highlights that true magic in theatre occurs when the audience is captivated by the performance, not the performer.
