Quotes
- Magdalena Phas quoted4 years ago
Objectives are strategies. They are the fuel that ignites characters into action. Objectives generate actions. You cannot literally play an objective. Your objectives stimulate you to play actions. (Actions are the only thing an actor can actually play.) - Magdalena Phas quoted4 years agoI want, I do, I feel. This is the ‘system’ in a nutshell. It is simple, obvious, and it is how we function in life. Any good psychological techniques we apply on stage are conscious recreations of how we function naturally. They create specific, recognisable behaviour in the actor from which the audience is able to recognise, interpret or intuit what is going on within the character. This liberates actors from any need to demonstrate or ‘explain’ their characters.
- Magdalena Phas quoted4 years agoIt’s a sort of miracle that productions ever come to fruition, let alone achieve any degree of excellence. You could describe many rehearsal experiences as a group of people who have probably never before worked together, cooped up for far too brief a period in a frequently disagreeable, dark, dirty and noisy space, without a shared language or a shared vision of what they believe theatre to be, in order to create something as profound and complex and as intimate as a performance.
