This is a book for the thinking actor, and the finest actors I've known are just that. The best actors bring it all together: body, heart, spirit, and mind. A theory of acting, if true, shows us to ourselves. Jeff Zinn knows this. He knows it as an actor, director, teacher, and thinker. His theory of everything is simple and revelatory.

Gurus is an epic tale that includes many names we will recognize and many more we will not. While the stories of individual star actors have been told and retold, their collective story - how acting went from stagey and artificial to the more truthful and authentic approaches of today - has not. The saga begins with Stanislavsky and the Moscow Art Theatre, but It also includes important, lesser known figures. In a sprawling saga that includes true believers and apostates, radicals and improvisers, from Stanislavsky to Succession, the Gurus podcast aims to tell the whole story.
