ARTICLES OF IMPORTANCE
Eating the Elephant: A Class with Kari Margolis
by Denise Myers,
Millikin University
**Article about the MARGOLIS METHOD in ATME
Newsletter"...Yes, you are trying to do, think, feel 2,573 things at once, and yes,
it's hard and frustrating. But isn't multi-tasking what we are
doing
when we are acting? It takes
practice to connect since we have all
been taught so well to separate and to compartmentalize. It takes
practice to find an honest psychophysical ease of acting in the
moment, i.e., eventually to just do it. Even though I was there only
three short weeks, I feel that I came away with a method that gives me
a way to study further because Kari Margolis has created a method that
integrates learning about how theatre works; I am deliberately
practicing using the parts to create a theatrical moment of
specificity and depth..." Read the whole article on the 'Peers Blog' Page!!! ********************************************************** Study this dynamic approach to physical
