A very nice, positive article! You have a great blend of techniques in this read. It really encompasses a lot of Anne Bogart's methods, but it also delves into a spiritual focus that a lot of actors lack. This reminds me of the book "Emotional Anatomy". There was something you touched on at the end of the article which struck me as extremely vital in actor training. And that is to look around the world we live in. Not just for energy purposes, but for the understanding that the arts is beyond mere entertainment (which every actor really should know). We DO have to look around the world we live in, now more than ever, to see how the shift of our global community is affecting our present, and our future. This is the core of the arts. We live in a world that could be discovered with the touch of a button, and there is so much out there for a creative mind to see and build from. Hats off to you for a wonderfully fun and enjoyable read. If I can make the trip up to NYC, I'd love to take a class! Cheers.
