ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the phenomena experienced in the 'state' of the last performance of The Bald Soprano. Performing The Bald Soprano was an opportunity to explore the potential justification and significance of Asian disciplines for a contemporary actor's training method due to the complete formal differences between these disciplines and text-based acting. A question in the justification for the Asian bodymind training for actors starts from the formal differences between the training and acting. The bodymind that necessarily engages time and space is the vehicle for the application of the psychophysical training to acting. If the actors create strong psychophysical vibrations in the sound of the words as an extension of the vibration of the bodymind and situation, ideally the audiences' whole sensory awareness will be touched by the materiality of it before they use their intellect to interpret the meaning of the words.
