“The Expressive Body” – Intro

Actions speak louder than words.

Right now, I’m reading the expressive body: physical characterization for the actor by David Alberts.

If you’ve been reading this blog up until now, you know how highly I value taking action in the struggle to overcome depression (and many other problems).

You may also remember that I’ve touched on the importance of finding a connection between physical and emotional states, and using that connection to your advantage (see my earlier post “On Forgiveness – Intro (Having the courage to forgive yourself).”

After reading the introduction to “The Expressive Body,” I’m more convinced than ever that taking action through acting training holds enormous potential for helping people overcome depression.

Stay tuned as I draw insights from this book and filter them through my “fight depression” lens. You’ll get to learn a bit (of theory, at least) about acting too!
