Move out of actor head.
Into Character Body.
You've done your prep.
You're in the room.
Now you can begin.
So now, let's stop.
And wait.
Character Body is a practise that trains our sensitivity to the physical experience of being alive.
With Character Body you can develop your ability to move beyond conscious construction and into the lived experience of a character.
See through their eyes. Experience a complex, captivating inner life. Find yourself thinking, feeling and responding in utterly truthful ways you never planned.
There is more to a character than we can consciously construct, and our imaginations are far more fertile than we give them credit for.
Character Body is a physical language we use to explore the stuff that exists before and beyond words.
We learn to notice rather than impose, to allow rather than force, and to discover the complex, contradictory life of a character from within. We build our trust in this animal knowledge.
We learn to blindfold the actor head so that we are driven by the Character Body. We channel its desires and demands.
The character comes to us, as a gift.
