Do not wait for the emotional state to "come". It'll come
never. You must be prepared for it to come and be open to it. You
must be ready to be stimulated by a sound, a movement, or a
silence. Don't be afraid of the pauses. Pause creates poetry and
magic... A major actor is the one that listens right, not the one
that talks. If you listen right you'll answer convincingly.
We play theatre for our souls, to make ourselves better.
The audience that seeing as and all together, to help creating a
wide, emotionally rich, and unimpaired culture in our country."
Genuine
feelings create theatrical magic, and they cannot be generated if
our senses aren't stimulated, and our perceptiveness isn't
electrified."
As
much as the actor adjusts himself with the role so much the role is adjusted to
the actor.
(From the book 'Karolos Koun', Ithaca Publications, Greece)
Theatre is the last beacon of knowledge, stir, critique and
substantially the last resort of thought, in our march in this
veiled life upon obscure ages.
Do not wait for the emotional state to "come". It'll come
never. You must be prepared for it to come and be open to it. You
must be ready to be stimulated by a sound, a movement, or a
silence. Don't be afraid of the pauses. Pause creates poetry and
magic... A major actor is the one that listens right, not the one
that talks. If you listen right you'll answer convincingly.
Genuine
feelings create theatrical magic, and they cannot be generated if
our senses aren't stimulated, and our perceptiveness isn't
electrified."
