Class Notes Highlights from Brian’s Ongoing, by Jonathan S.

–          Relationships are different points of views fusing together.

–          Make sure that when we are working with relationships we have different points of view and that we have clear choices.

–          Explore what makes each partner in a relationship different.

–          What differentiates [your character] from the rest of the characters?

–          The circumstances [are already] there and present.  What is already happening that causes the scene to start [and] take place?

–          Breathe life into the character. Don’t walk the audience through every beat.

–          What is feeding your aesthetic [as an artist]?

–          What is your artistic diet?

–          Take care of what you need to take care of before you get to class [so you can be fully present].

–          Warm up and do exercises to prepare yourself to work to your best ability.
