Jon, In my (very brief) career as a method actor (yes, it's true!), I was taught that the way into another's emotions was through their actions and their circumstances. Pay attention to what your fellow actors are doing and the props you are handling. Get out of yourself. The idea is not to ermpathize with an emotion but to have it.

She also mentions her work as "Nell", where she digs deep into vulnerability, a place that Foster expresses little historical interest in wanting to go as an actress. Is it *empathy* that an actor experiences when they compartmentalize *into* such a character? What is it to empathize with a fictional character, a phantom? -- Sent from: http://friam.471366.n2.nabble.com/ - .... . -..-. . -. -.. -..-. .. ... -..-. .... . .-. .
