Creating Character
Wed, 20 Sept 2006, 08:27 pmWhat does it take to create a character? For the Actor, Director and Playwright?
Taking the lead of several posts found both from the thread What is this thing called acting? and the recent poll, Why do we do it?, let us look into what are the different techniques that we all use when creating a character.
Method Acting, Stanislavsky, Grotowski, organic, Shakespearian, what-ever. Maybe it's a process that you have developed yourself. Have you ever been challenged by a part so much that it left a mark you have never been able to shake? Or are you able to create a character and dispose of them like yesterdays old suit?
Tell us your tales and let us all learn form your experience.

And it is behoven upon every wanna be actor to get they dead hands on a copy of this marvellous tome "Playing Shakespeare" by John Barton.
It should be pre-requisite reading for those endeavouring to tackle the Bard in any way, shape or form. If you see someone walking down the street with a copy of it in their hands, cut off their hands and steal this book from them! It will be worth the community service the court says you'll have to do.
