- An actor must live truthfully in the moment. The way I like to think of this is that the actor must believe that he or she is in the same situation as the character (relating to their own life), and act according to how the actor would act in the circumstances that he or she has set for themselves. It is how I like to go about with improv. Think about what the character would act like, think about how i would act if i was the character and do it!
- An actor must always keep their body in pristine condition so that they may physically take on a variety of roles. This basically means that an actor must be in peak physical condition so that they are able to survive the strenuous task of being an acorn ( I misspelt actor as "acorn" and felt that the word "acorn" fit best.)
-Moments are what truly make up plays and the second someone realizes that they are in a moment, the moment is lost.

ReplyDeleteDoesn't this sound impossible? Or at the least very very difficult? Like, you're playing Frodo and you have to believe in Orcs wanting to kill you, or a Nazgul riding a dragon.
WHat is the moment? What is living? WHat is truthful?
THis is a good book for you to be reading.
