The Actor's Mindset - Acting as...

Craig Archibald, Constance Wu

The Actor's Mindset: Acting as a Craft, Discipline, and Business uniquely prepares actors to live full, successful lives as performing artists. While most acting books focus on either the art or the business of entertainment, Archibald looks at the entire picture of what it means to be an actor, focusing on the foundations of both the artist and the entrepreneur to guarantee a complete and fully functioning approach to a career. 
 
 
 
The Actor's Mindset is divided into three distinct parts: "The Craft," "The Discipline," and "The Business." 
 
 
 
Archibald's unique experience as both an actor and a coach gives him an unparalleled perspective on the current industry landscape. While classic method texts still circulate, and there are actors who have written books that address craft, none have Archibald's depth of knowledge and experience in coaching, nor approach the art from a professional standpoint instead of solely an instructional one. The success of Craig's approach is exemplified by the success of his clients, a roster that includes Constance Wu, John Slattery, and two-time Academy Award nominee Dan Futterman.

Jean-Honoré Fragonard - The...

Maggiorino Di Calosso, Edmond...

Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1732-1806) punctuates the eighteenth century with a burst of fireworks, closing the arc opened by Watteau with his enchanting poems of love and melancholy. While Watteau was ethereal and profound, Fragonard was delightfully light. He captivates us even as he amuses himself, his emotional distance ever apparent. Specialising in "fêtes galantes" executed in the Rococo style, Fragonard was a pupil of François Boucher and also studied under Chardin. Heeding Boucher's advice, he portrayed romantic gardens replete with fountains, grottos, temples, and terraces—settings that also reveal the influence of Tiepolo. With King Louis XV as his patron, Fragonard shifted his focus towards depicting the pleasure-seeking and licentious court, offering scenes rich in love and voluptuousness.
