About "No Acting Please" the books & Eric Morris.
“No Acting Please" is Eric Morris first and best-selling book on acting. Johnny Depp talked about both the book and Eric’s influence on his work along with Stanislavski and Lee Strasberg on Inside the Actor’s Studio.
This method-based system is currently taught in NY, L.A., San Francisco, Toronto, Vancouver, Spain, Brazil, Argentina, Austria, Australia, Germany, Istanbul, Turkey and more plus the book “No Acting Please” is required reading in many colleges, university programs and acting schools around the world because the focus is on not "acting" but Being. Eric’s work and system is specific in its approach to help the actor eliminate the separation between character and actor, to not “act” but to be the role. The Eric Morris System empowers the actor with specific tools & techniques needed to create, experience and express that reality and is complete, giving the actor the ability to become self-reliant.
Having studied with Eric Morris since 2003, I have been given a unique endorsement to teach The Eric Morris System of Experiential Acting here in Chicago. This system is a complete, two-part method-based system that goes beyond traditional method technique by dealing with the actor’s instrument and includes a very specific approach to the craft.
