Actor = Character (Identification)
Spectator = Hero
and therefore, Public can relate to Actor only through CHARACTER!
Therefore, the actors can relate to each other through characters ONLY.
(Forget Epic Theatre and Brecht for now. You should learn how to live several lives at the same time = forgetting and remembering at the same time.)
Teaching partnership ("Private in Public" -- director's existence).
Rehearsals Ahart calls "experiencing" ... "getting to know you" (actors), romancing, the moment actor gets the role (pregnant), director's jod is done.
Subtext (page in method.vtheatre.net?)
If actor's nature in identification with everyone and all, actor's talant is in being the public. He (she) is the subjective universe, which creates the audience from the crowd (of strangers). Talant after all is how many other souls can you make into your own (Christian thought).( Last scene from Godot in class )What is the role of director in this acting process?
Director is the model of public, actor is training on him (rehearsals).
"Private in Public"? (Stanislavsky)
The secret is being both: youself and all.
... Director represents Public -- through actors!
