In this book, educator-actor-playwright-director Elizabeth Hess
offers systematic and original explorations in performance
technique. This hybrid approach is a fusion of physical theater
modalities culled from Western practices (Psycho-physical actions,
Viewpoints) Eastern practices (Butoh, Kundalini yoga) and related
performance disciplines (Mask, Puppetry). Behavioral, physiological
and psychological 'states of being' are engaged to unlock impulses,
access experience and enlarge the imagination. Through individual,
partnered and collective explorations, actors uncover a character's
essence and level of consciousness, their energy center and body
language, and their archetype and relationship to universal themes.
Magic (to pretend, as if), Metaphor (to compare, as like) and Myth
(to pattern after, as in) provide the foundation for generating
transformative, empathetic and expansive artistic expression.
Explorations can be adapted to character work, scene study and
production, including original/devised work and established text,
to illuminate singular and surprising work through collaborative
creativity that is inventive, inclusive and alive.
