Good Acting
on: January 01, 2012, 09:54:38 PM
I found this to be a generally nice read, a very light, yet helpful article for performers. (As far as I understand it) the article is by Ben Kingsley in Newsweek Magazine and feature online at "The Daily Beast" :
https://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2011/12/18/ben-kingsley-on-the-insult-that-made-him-a-good-actor.html
My favorite quote, as it applies very much to performing pieces:
"The lesson I learned is that every aspect of the character has to be bigger than me. For example, let’s say I’m playing anger. My anger has limits; my character’s anger has to go beyond my limits."
