1. This quote refers to an actor and how there’s never a time where one is not active and involved in the process of performing. There must always be a purpose for one to be on stage, whether it’s to act, for movement or even filling up space.
2. This quote states that all the actions that occur on stage must be done with reason, there has to be an explanation as to why the actor is doing it. The action has to have a cause and motive. The actor acts like a driving force to complete the action with purpose. The actions occurring must contain logic in order to follow a specific pattern so that the audience can still believe the act through the imaginary belief that the actor portrays. Being coherent is associated with being logical. An action should include logical, justification and coherent to be able to achieve the act the actor is trying to accomplish.
3. This quote mentions that actors have to commit to their thinking ability and rely mostly on their visual encouragement in order for them to improve and develop the skill of imagination; actors should go through a visualized flashback, to connect with their thoughts.
4. This quote discusses how actors need to practice methods to allow their bodies to rest in order for their imagination to grow and so that they can realize their inner selves when acting. This could help actors build a more powerful imagination when playing a character. Actors should learn to hold their emotions and believe in them, to put on a more realistic act. Also if an actor is playing a character they don’t normally act like, actors could ask a person who has been in a similar situation and ask them how it feels like, so that actors can get a clear idea on how to act it out.
5. This quote I think is saying how when actors try and be as real as the character they’re playing, they are not acting in the moment. I think the use of their emotional memory can’t make you act, but only make you live what you once felt. Instead of acting ‘real’ actors actually talk from the heart and what they’ve been through, that way they can connect more with their emotions and yet play the character. Instead of playing the character’s feeling, the actors play their own it’s important to know how they felt at the time.
6. This quote deliberates how actors may be able to distinguish the rhythms of their roles and themselves, but in most cases is that actors working together will fall into another actor’s rhythm, often the slowest, and this makes for a dull performance. He draws attention to the strength of stillness, which in itself is a tempo-rhythm, and how that can be contrasted with rapid movement by other characters in the same scene. Different rhythms can indicate huge insights and differences into the characters and their make-up.
