ABSTRACT
Steve Wangh's exercise teaches actors the importance of clear focus, internal spaciousness and selective display. Each and every moment of existence, no matter how stressful or how fleeting, contains the potential for spaciousness. The word spaciousness normally implies place but it can also encompass qualities of time, of relationships and of presence. The word Sukhino refers to happiness, joy or freedom. But the word can also be translated as spaciousness. The author finds kinship between happiness and spaciousness useful. Personally and professionally she craves spaciousness. The author longs for enough space and time to cogitate, to roam around and to develop hunches around whatever project she involved with. But spaciousness is hard to achieve. Life seems to conspire to keep it from her. She understands that an artist must be capable of stopping time and allowing for spaciousness. The author finds the capacity to be still with nothing happening in order to realize that in fact something is always happening.
