ABSTRACT

An actor too has as we might say his runway; he travels along the line of physical actions to gain momentum. That is why our first concern is with the building of a solid runway, compounded of physical actions made concrete by their own truthfulness. All this bears witness to the close bond between physical action and all the so-called 'elements' of the inner creative state. Because it is easier to lay hold of physical than psychological action, it is more accessible than elusive inner feelings. Because it is easier to lay hold of physical than psychological action, it is more accessible than elusive inner feelings. Actually there is no physical action which does not involve desires; there is no act of imagination which does not contain some imagined action. This accessibility of physical action which prompts us to have recourse to it now in developing in our student's sense of the necessity of logic and consistency-from Othello production notes.
