"Performing Prose" (by Keith Johnstone)

"Performing Prose" by Keith Johnstone explores the art of delivering prose aloud with spontaneity and expressive energy. It emphasizes freeing performers from rigid interpretations, encouraging them to connect authentically with the text and audience. By focusing on natural vocal variation, emotional honesty, and presence, it helps actors bring prose to life dynamically, making performances more engaging. The approach values improvisation and personal interpretation, nurturing a performer’s confidence and creativity in delivering spoken words compellingly.
