Action

I finally made it past chapter two! I have also made the choice not to blog about it haha. Okay maybe a few words are needed. Chapter two was hard for me to follow. Mainly what I got from it was that everyone was doing something wrong. The concept of acting from a subconscious level seems to me to be not only an unreachable goal but also an unhealthy one.

So moving on to chapter three. Chapter three was when things finally got interesting for me. It starts with the first day of lessons with the director. The director has a young girl sit on stage and do nothing else. This seems to be an easy task at first but the more you think about it the harder the task would actually be. I know I would feel stupid sitting up there doing nothing. The take home message I got from this chapter would have to be something along the line of the best acting happens when you "aren't acting". Along with that you can not use the false acting of emotions or the use of conventional gestures. Instead of this false acting you must live in the emotions and types. (This is a concept that both intrigues and worries me)
