“Disturbing” for the professor is good for “creativity” for the student!!  Without squeezing the orange how do you get the tasty juice?

Today’s class was very meaningful.  Totally agree that “simplicity” makes acting fresh and real.  It does take the extraneous mental calculations away and keeps the mind alive for what needs to be done – to act and make believe it’s all real.  I have become a strong believer, that the actor has to have a starting base-line PLAN for the actor to give a realistic performance.  Ratan calls this PURPOSE and I shall go with that.  Great class and enjoyed it.
