Mythic Imagination and the Actor, Marissa Chibás draws on over three decades of experience as a Latinx actor, writer, filmmaker, and teacher to offer an approach to acting that embraces collective imagination, archetypal work, and the mythic.
Mythic Imagination and the Actor is a book that honors performance practices of the past while calling for new models for our work that incorporates and reconnects us to the mythic, the innovative, and the global. It asks that we move from practices formed within a fixed universe to an approach to acting that embraces the multiple potentialities that modern science has brought us.
