A forum for discussing the actor's exercise of more concretely understanding and communicating the character they are working on by determining what animal their character is like and reflecting it in their work.
...All the good guys do it, you know...
This is not an elite forum, anyone can post as long as they have something to say on the subject. Digress all you like, but don't throw rocks at one another. Though I doubt enough people will join for that kind of activity to commence.
Give a brief introduction when you join us. Or not so brief. The choice is yours.
The talent is in the Choices... Stella said.
Post and feel free to discuss anything having to do with the exercise, including personal experiences with it, opinions of actors' work with it in films and plays, information about their processes, and any questions that happen to pop up along the way.
Ode to the Animal Exercise!
