Actors activate text into life-forms. Using Poetry as an act of realignment.
But when dealing with Hamlet, which text are we talking about?
1st Quarto – a gritty murder mystery
2nd Quarto – twice as many words and the most quotable
First Folio – 77 more lines than Q2
Books are made by others
Texts are made by authors
Lines:
Say them, feel them, become them
Thought leads to Speech accompanied by Action
The Character’s thought is contained in the Text
The Actor reveals the Dynamism of Sound in Text
Animating its latent Energy
Characters feel the Maximum they can
and the Whole moves and informs
You fly blind in Shakespeare
like a Metal and a Magnet
Lines determine what’s said
the Space between them belongs to the Actors
