CONFLICT is easy. COMPASSION takes work. Just look at the world. Actors run to the conflict in the scene because they LOVE playing conflict. It feels rewarding. They love to talk about conflicts and obstacles. But that is the cheap and easy approach. Instead, they need to embrace the compassion: compassion for the characters objective, compassion for the emotions, compassion for the character, for the other characters, for the story, the writer...and the audience. Override the easy (the reactive emotion of conflict) and embrace the deeper challenge (the empathetic emotion of compassion). Them great acting, and a better world, begin to emerge. -- MATTHEW HARRISON facebook/theactorsfoundry
