Acting is the life of the human soul receiving its birth through art! It’s a process where multiple truths are possible. Whether it be Film, Television or Theatre the difference in mediums isn’t one of big versus small; it’s the difference of where you look for and discover your TRUTH. A characters story begins in the middle, not the beginning. Teaching artists the power of negotiation and embracing a broad palette of tactics and techniques to find the answer. Looking at performance like a dance, not a fight. As fighting only requires attack and defence, it does not demonstrate an actor with a soul capable of living through any situation demanded by authors or writers. It’s not comfortable to play great parts. It takes work! The work involves possession and understanding of all five senses; living in variable imaginable situations; development of a memory of feeling, memory of inspiration or penetration, memory of imagination and visual memory. It's living in the body not in the mind. Being present and surrendering the need for control. It's where you and the character meet, in the eyes of the writer. Much to be uncovered, much to be discovered, and more than enough left to explore.
Let's do the WORK!
