if we are now in agreement and have taken sides with the actor who presents rather than represents: If we understandthe neccesity for developing an organic inner technique aswell as our outer instrument: if we are convinced that a deep sence of ethics, a developmetn of our best character elements is essential for us to become fine artists who can serve and enlighten an audience about the human experience, then the question can be aske: Where do we Begin?
First, you must learn to know who you are. You must find your own sense of identiy, enlarge this sense of self, and your own sense of identity, enlarge this sense of self and learn to see how that knowledge can be put to use in the characters you will portray on stage. I assume that most of you are, at this point theoretically on my side, even though , through your previous training and experience as both actor and audience, are still caught up in th mistaken notion that you are human being in the wings and an “actor” on stage. You have a tendecy to copy what you have seen other do on stage, rather than to seach within your own lifedon on a stage, rather than to searcn within your own life experience to bring forth a new human being on stage.
