MATTHEW in class on Thursday: When the gap opens up between character and actor...and thinking pours in making you check out of the scene...DO NOT FALL BACK. Do not fall back into old tricks and habits that get you through. Do not fall back on trying to remember your line. Do not fall back and beat yourself up. Do not fall back on searching for emotionality. Falling back into yourself will only feed the self-destructive ego and at best create artifice. FALL FORWARD! Fall forward into your scene partner. Fall forward into the next partner-related action. Fall forward into the moment. The lines will come. The emotion will come. The gap will close. actorsfoundry
