Warm up
Acting
I can take any empty space
and call it a bare stage, someone walks
across this space whilst someone else is watching,
and this is all I need for an act of theatre to be engaged.
Peter Brook
- <The Empty Space>
- dense, quite short sentences
- repetition – dull thing but…
- representation – what’s the goal of character? “become” is dangerous, toxic, addictive tendency. how would you know that you “became” the character? you just “represent” the character.
- “just being in there” we always change and affect each other to some degree
- magic – “it cannot be real!” or “Oh, it’s real!”
- suspend
- all the best performers make look easy
