{"product_id":"peter-brook-the-tightrope","title":"Peter Brook: The Tightrope","description":"Product Description\n\nPeter Brook is one of the world's most respected and revolutionary directors of contemporary theatre. To help his actors achieve extraordinary performances, he has a special exercise, 'the Tightrope,' that evolved over decades of experimentation and practice into a process of transformation that revitalizes the theatrical experience for actor and audience alike. In this unique film, director Simon Brook - Peter's son - reveals how 'the Tightrope' works its dramatic alchemy.\n\nReview\n\n\"A concise new documentary offers a rare glimpse behind the scenes...the audience has a sense of witnessing intimate moments rather than watching a performance. Peter Brook's interest has always been in the ritual roots and mythical resonances of the theater, and the idea of acting he articulates in 'The Tightrope' has a primal, even mystical tenor. He speaks of access to a collective brain, of grasping the essence of time and of the ways the theater can offer a heightened experience of life.\" --A.O. Scott, The New York Times\n\n\"CRITICS' PICK! For the past 50-plus years, Brook refused to allow rehearsals to be filmed. 'The Tightrope', however, changes this. Throughout the film Brook offers himself as a teacher whose goal is to help his students discover brief, ephemeral moments of bliss.\" --Aaron Cutler, The Village Voice\n\n\"'The Tightrope' is one heck of a master-class; it's also one really revealing window into why Peter Brook's legend in the theater is such a large one.\" --Trey Graham, Here and Now on NPR\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B00IT6QD9Y\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B00IT6QD9Y.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Peter Brook|Yoshi Oida|Hayley Carmichael|Marcello Magni|Jos Houben|Adbou Ouologuem|Shantala Shivalingappa|Lydia Wilson|Emily Wilson|Micha Lescot|Khalifa Natour|Toshi Tsuchitori|Caesar Sarachu|Franck Krawczyk|Marie-Helene Estienne|Simon Brook\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Dvd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
