Find Your Mark

So....Umm.....I love the opening paragraph. It was exactly what I find myself asking. But then as I continue with the chapter I confuse myself. I find myself agreeing with everything, but I also don't understand how it can be true. Yes I don't think that you can know what you would do in a situation but I also do not think that you would be able to simply feel your way. Acting has to involves some sense of repetition and rehearsal. I mean although there is always a chance for the unknown the actor pretty much has to know what is going to happen next right? I also like the concept of wanting real heroism from real people. But the great part about that is the knowledge that it is real. The audience is aware that a play is not reality. I also don't quite understand the concept of acting on what you feel onstage. I can say that at times what I am feeling would not be even remotely appropriate for the moment. I suppose this means that I'm not in the moment or something *sigh*
