Meisner intensive 2回目の4

3/29日分メモ。

• Acting evolves
  • There can never be a fixed "Method" or "System".
  • Technology advancement, new media, etc. E.g. Acting for interactive entertainment differs from film acting.

• Repetition is the foundation
  • Stripping away precognitions
  • Do not plan ahead - it's the key (remember story building exercise).

• Emotional preparation
  • It is for the first few moments of the scene. It's to bring something into the scene. Once you are in, you can react to whatever hits you.
  • You can use real experience, or you can make up one (fantasy), or mix them---as far as it makes you feel strong emotion, it's ok. (This is the stark difference between Meisner and Method; in Method, you draw the emotion from your real experience.)
  • If you use imagination, really use it. Imagine all the details to the point that it is believable to you. A vague concept doesn't work.
  • Do not try to show the emotion. Almost by definition, if you are conscious of showing it, you are not fully feeling it.

エクササイズはindependent activityとemotional preparation。

用意していったindependent activityにダメ出しされた。 「失敗したら本当にまずいことになる」という わかりやすいシチュエーションにした方が良いとのこと。

Imaginationを拡げる練習: Daydreamせよ。例：今、$3M手に入って、 これを使わなければならないとしたら (投資、後に残るものの購入、 寄付、貯金はだめ)、何に使いたい? 自分が本気で信じられるくらい、 具体的定量的に妄想せよ。 ($3M具体的に使い切るのは案外難しい。投資になっちゃう。)

印象に残ったquote: "Text is like a canoe, and emotion is a river."
