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.

Book Walking
Fri, 29 Sept 2006, 10:35 amI employ a technique called "Furtive Navigation" - I hold my book slightly higher than usual and while reading occasionally divert my eyes onto the path ahead. I also walk at high speed forcing others to get out of my way lest they be trampled!
I had to learn it somehow, it's about the only opportunity I get to read anything these days - Walking or on the Train (and that's only a 5 min ride).
