This Month’s Focus
Part Four: I Can Do Anything
Today’s Class
Nature Transformation
Today’s Target
“What if we can?”
There are real issues, real worries, real insecurities we face as actors.
Can we actually transform into another character? Can we truly know what our character knows? Can we consistently react with our character’s instincts?
We know what it’s like to be a real person … we live inside ourselves all the time!
When we play pretend, we’re essentially telling ourselves we can’t do it for real.
But … what if we can?
What if we can actually do something about it?
What if we can do something to become more … to evolve … to transform our very instincts into those of the character?
Today we’re unleashing our Olympic Spirit into a delicious new tool for your craft that turns the discoveries of rehearsal into the transformation of character instincts.
