| Summary: | Written to fulfill a partial requirement for the Masters of Fine Arts degree from the University of Iowa, this is an exploration of Kevin Argus' journey as an actor. It is a personal text that documents his relationship with: the present moment, the state, and mask, which are the necessary requirements for great acting. He asks, "How can you drop into the present moment? How can you expand the state to give others a visceral feeling? How can you create a specific character?"
It goes on to recount pitfalls in the rehearsal process and the performance that are frequently encountered. |
