  3. Inspiration… • "In 1947, I worked in a play under the direction of Harold Clurman. He opened a new world in the professional theatre for me. He took away my 'tricks'. He imposed no line readings, no gestures, no positions on the actors. At first I floundered badly because for many years I had become accustomed to using specific outer directions as the material from which to construct the mask for my character, the mask behind which I would hide throughout the performance. Mr. Clurman refused to accept a mask. He demanded ME in the role. My love of acting was slowly reawakened as I began to deal with a strange new technique of evolving in the character. I was not allowed to begin with, or concern myself at any time with, a preconceived form. I was assured that a form would result from the work we were doing."

  4. THE SIX STEPS TO CREATING A CHARACTER • Who am I? • What are my circumstances? • What are my relationships? • What do I want? • What are my obstacles? • How do I get what I want?

  5. WHO AM I? • What is my present state of being? • How do I perceive myself? • What am I wearing?

  6. What Are My Circumstances? • What time is it? • Where am I? • What surrounds me? • What are the immediate circumstances?

  7. What Are My Relationships? • How do I stand in relationship to the circumstances, the place, the objects, and other people related to my circumstances?

  8. What Do I Want? • What is my main objective? • What is my immediate need

  9. What Is My Obstacle? • What is in the way of what I want? • How do I overcome it? A brick wall is only there to prove how badly we want something.

  10. What Do I Do To Get What I Want? • How do I achieve my objective? • What is my behaviour? • What are my actions? • ACTION TACTIC STRATEGY
