“Every true artist and especially talented actors bare within themselves a deeply rooted and often unconscious desire for transformation.” – M. Chekhov.
The inspirational acting comes when everything is forgotten – the method, the technique, the part, the author, the audience. Then a miracle happens.
Then we come to dimensions and multi – dimensional existence as a character.
