In this book, Mark Olsen asks 'Why should inspiration and growth in the spiritual dimension be relegated only to poets, musicians, painters and dancers? The actor, too, has the right and the means to enter through the mysterious gates and struggle to awaken'. Olsen describes his own education as a theatre professional who insists on combining self-development and universal ideals with his stage practice. This collection of informal essays is connected by the author's belief that theatre has many of the same aims as spiritual practice.

The inclusion of a set of practical exercises, suitable for workshop or classroom settings, makes this an ideal introductory book for anyone with an interest in acting.
