Words of Wisdom From Benedetti
The textbook for my Acting class that I'm taking is called The Actor At Work by Robert Benedetti and just yesterday I was reading through chapter 15 and I thought that Benedetti had a really interesting concept that I would like to share with everyone. Basically he says that an actor needs to create the other characters just as much as he/she need to create their own characters. I personally think that we spend so much time focusing on our characters that we forget to react to the others in the play(or at least I do) and if we focus on creating each other’s character's as much as our own we will grow as an entire group and have a much stronger focus and production. Just some thoughts.....hopefully they are helpful : )
