Doing and behaving truthfully (honestly in imaginary circumstances
Tactics - what you do to get what you want
Objective - what you want
- Have to pick an objective that is actually obtainable
- Can be as simple as a hug
“Do honest work, and you will be okay”
→ something in this class that you were afraid to do
→ if we’re not taking risks, we’re not growing
Obstacle - something in the way that you have to show confidence enough to get
around
Don't comment - NAIL with guilt NAIL with scorn, any verb that you are usuing
*label everything
Things to think about...
- Out of a bubble
- Other actor’s eyes
- Don't mime, we want to apologize
- Loosen up shoulders
If it’s not active, you must fix it (verbs that you don’t need)
EMOTIONS - the sweat of action
- If you just play your honest action, your intuition will overcome it
“We only grow when things are hard”
DO IT MORE = raise the stakes
Directors do not want to teach you, they want to make your show better
- Bleeding - through beats
Details = details = details = in a perfect world... what happens?
