Acting and Being
In this book, educator-actor-playwright-director Elizabeth Hess offers systematic and original explorations in performance technique. This hybrid approach is a fusion of physical theater modalities culled from Western practices (Psycho-physical actions, Viewpoints) Eastern practices (Butoh, Kundalini yoga) and related performance disciplines (Mask, Puppetry). Behavioral, physiological and psychological ‘states of being’ are engaged to unlock impulses, access experience and enlarge the imagination. Through individual, partnered and collective explorations, actors uncover a character’s essence and level of consciousness, their energy center and body language, and their archetype and relationship to universal themes. Magic (to pretend, as if), Metaphor (to compare, as like) and Myth (to pattern after, as in) provide the foundation for generating transformative, empathetic and expansive artistic expression. Explorations can be adapted to character work, scene study and production, including original/devised work and established text, to illuminate singular and surprising work through collaborative creativity that is inventive, inclusive and alive.
Nim Chimpsky
Project Nim was designed by a Columbia University psychologist to refute Noam Chomsky's claim that language is exclusive to humans. Nim Chimpsky was raised like a human child and taught American Sign Language while living with his "adoptive family" in their Manhattan town house. Then the study's funding ended, and Nim's problems began. Exiled from the people he loved, caged and rotated in and out of various facilities, Nim's humanlike qualities and ability to converse with and charm everyone he met proved to be his salvation.
