Train your imagination |
https://kenrea.wordpress.com/2015/08/08/train-your-imagination
August 8, 2015 in Uncategorized. One of the qualities of great actors is that they tend to have a more interesting imagination than average actors. As a result, their acting choices how they get from A to B are usually more inventive and surprising. Add up all those choices in a single role and a great actor’s interpretation has the stamp of uniqueness. For a start, ask yourself: when do you get your most interesting ideas?

The ultimate secret of success. June 17, 2013 in Uncategorized. If I had to boil everything down to one single secret of success, I’d say it’s this: Take action! In it’s zen-like simplicity that has everything. By all means have a dream and go with the flow of the universe (instead of fighting against it) but do so by taking action in the first place. And finally, keep on taking action. Again, I’ve seen lots of people start out on a goal and then give up when the going gets tough. You need the gr...Notif...

The law of attraction in action. July 21, 2013 in Uncategorized. For anyone who doubts it, the law of attraction like attract like really does work. You’ve probably experienced it yourself, but I’ll give you one example. When I got home last night, there on my computer was an email offering me some more training work a potential lucrative contract. Call it coincidence if you like an isolated example but I’ve experienced this phenomenon so many times that I now take it seriously. Try it out for yourself&#...

Acting and the art of cycling. November 7, 2012 in Uncategorized. Actors sometimes ask me about the relation between their conscious choices made in rehearsal and the eventual performance. I’ve done the work, they’ll say. I’ve sorted out my given circumstances, my animal, my Laban efforts, my elements, my objectives. But how do I keep all that going in the performance? Their worry is that they’ll lose spontaneity. Comments feed for this article. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.

What is warmth in acting? |
https://kenrea.wordpress.com/2014/07/29/what-is-warmth-in-acting
What is warmth in acting? July 29, 2014 in Uncategorized. Warmth is the quality of heart in a performance. It’s about the way you connect with other people. When you act with warmth, you project affection, goodwill and kindliness all powerful qualities to be on the receiving end of. And how do you find warmth? Warmth is something you need to start projecting off-stage, in everyday life. If it becomes a natural habit in your life, it will be easier to express it in a performance. Warmth comes out ...But b...

Presence and the little splash. January 29, 2013 in Uncategorized. Watching the Diving finals of the Olympics I was intrigued to learn that divers lose points for making a big splash when they enter the water. The aim is ideally to hit the water without any disturbance whatsoever. Actors should be like that with the air around them on stage. As you move from A to B, do you disturb the air with ‘big splashes’ or are you more lithe, creating almost no trace? And how do you get from one to the other? Ben Ea...

https://kenrea.wordpress.com/2013/10/12/lets-be-disruptive
Let’s be disruptive! October 12, 2013 in Uncategorized. Teaching eight groups at a drama summer school recently I was struck by their different chemistry. In some groups the actors worked harmoniously together but other groups seemed disruptive. Personalities were clashing. What makes disruption positive rather than negative is its values. A company creating a new market. Revolution as a force for fun. Actors looking for new ways of exciting audiences. The disruption is driven by innovati...Or does it ta...

What does your face say about you? January 28, 2015 in Uncategorized. We’re all born with fairly open faces, but by the time we’re 30 or 40, that face may have turned into a character mask that reflects our default mood. Exercise. For 20 minutes, go about your normal day with a permanent frown. Notice how you feel and how other people interact with you. What’s happened to your normal rapport? Are you tending to get what you want from people? And are you starting to feel in a bad mood? You are commenting ...
