a note from a director [stagematrix.com]

If you read all (3) INTRO to my acting classes (three levels) and "title" pages, you should read PS in the same directories. Only then you are ready for Total Actor...

Of course, you won't listen to my advise.

Actors do not know how to listen.

Only good actors know how to it.

Well, the good ones know how listen to themselves.

In fact, Ben Affleck and Jay Lo, along with their very savvy PR people have brought the 'acting-bar' down so low that robots like Vin Diesel can easily make 20 million a picture."

LOGIC AND CONTINUITY
In every phase of our work . . . we constantly had occasion to speak of logic and continuity. . . . They are of prime importance. . . . Creating must be logical and have continuity. Even illogical and incoherent characters must be represented within the logical plan and framework of a whole play, a whole performance.

. . . How to accomplish this? By means of physical actions . . . because they are easier to establish, materially and visually, and are yet closely tied to all the other elements. . . . It is easier to orient one's self with their aid. . . . Having prepared a logical and coherent line of physical actions, . . . we discover that parallel to it will run a logical and coherent line of emotion. . . . Come to the tragic part of a role . . . gradually and logically, by carrying out correctly your sequence of external physical actions, and by believing in them. . . . Do not think about your emotions. Think about what you have to do. If you do not adhere strictly to an absolute pattern of logic and continuity you are in danger of conveying passions, images, actions in a "generalized" form.

If an actor keeps in constant exercise . . . he will come to know practically all human actions from the point of view of their component parts, their consecutiveness and their logic. But this work must be done daily, constantly, like the vocalizing of a singer, or the exercises of a dancer. . . . systematic and absolutely valid exercises of actions without props. --An Actor Prepares --Building a Character --My Life in Art
