Hollywood at Home - For the Actor
|

| "Stanislavsky was essentially an amateur. He was a member of a very wealthy merchant family, and he came to the theatre as a rich man. I do not mean to denigrate either his fervor or his accomplishments - I merely note his antecedents.' The busker, the gypsy, the mountebank come to the theater to support themselves. As their support depends directly upon the favor of the audience, they study to obtain that favor. 'Those who have... 'come up from the streets,' have little interest in their own performance, save as it relates to their ability to please an audience. This is, I believe as it should be." ...................- David Mamet ............*........an excerpt from "True and False - Heresy and common sense for the actor". |

More Mamet:
...,,,,.."Acting is not a genteel profession Actors used to be buried at crossroads with a stake through the heart These people's performances so troubled the onlookers that they feared their ghosts. An awesome compliment. .,,,,,,..Those players moved the audience not such that they were admitted to a graduate school or recieved complimentary reviews, but such that the audience feared for their soul.. Now that to me seems something to aim for." Keep Reading.... |
