Truthful acting is when you are fully in character
Stanislavski: “the actor must not only experience the role inwardly, he must embody that inner experience physically. Outer experience relies very strongly on inner experience”
“Every one of our movements onstage, every word must be the result of a truthful imagination.”
Imagination is immersing yourself in the moment with the given circumstances; active imagination requires the use of the five basic senses
Exercise 1: By imagining yourself in different locations, you can get across a lot even when just standing still
The magic if serves as the question that stirs your imagination
Objective = the character’s goal in the given circumstances; action is how they try to fulfill their objective
Exercise 2: To develop your character naturally, allow your imagination to run freely (without getting off topic); go into detail to discover the truth of the character
This will further develop your ability to imagine
Free body: you need to be fully relaxed and unoccupied with your own self before you can step into a character and give a truthful performance
Three kinds of communication:
1. Movement
2. Voice
3. Rays (a kind of psychic link between people)
Exercise 5: You work most efficiently as a group when you are open and committed to what you are doing, and fully trust your partners
