I sit in my emotions.  Only if I don't cheat them. Nothing beats it. Most actors are neurtoic (e.g. impulsive, uncontrollable, response) in that they internalize and program thought.  However, that insecurity is not only seen by an audience. What happens is... an audience knows you are planning your next move.  The audience can see how a plot unfolds.  What an audience wants is to experience shifts in the actor without knowing why a choice was made.  The emotional scale of the character is always present in truth telling by an actor. The actor cannot edit what is going on around them.  The actor must be IN their BODY which translates into the psychological space that is your own mind.  Most neurotic actors are insecure and not emotionally available to the scene in many ways.  Therefore, it becomes an exhibited form.  The shape and style of a scene must involve a special awarness that an actor conveys this silence to the world within them.   The image than meets the audience. (Not felt in the action of what a scene entails.) The world around the actor is separate from being observed, this is because the audience doesn't know the inner life of the character.  Only the actor knows what is space and time.


The surroundings are based on such an image of the actor.

“Nietzsche’s idea is that things and actions are already interpretations. So to interpret is to interpret interpretations, and thus to change things, ‘to change life.’ What is clear for Nietzsche is that society cannot be an ultimate authority. The ultimate authority is creation, it is art: or rather, art represents the absence and the impossibility of an ultimate authority. From the very beginning of his work, Nietzsche posits that there exist ends ‘just a little higher’ than those of the State, than those of society. He inserts his entire corpus in a dimension which is neither historical, even understood dialectically, nor eternal. What he calls this new dimension which operates both in time and against time is the untimely. It is in this that life as interpretation finds its source. Maybe the reason for the ‘return to Nietzsche’ is a rediscovery of the untimely, that dimension which is distinct both from classical philosophy in its ‘timeless’ enterprise and from dialectical philosophy in its understanding of history: a singular element of upheaval.”
