An Actor’s Muse

This account posts reflections on the art of acting from professors and professionals, as well as my own musings on the subject. I hope to inspire deep thinking and motivate others to hone their craft.

![Text from Sanford Meisner On Acting, a book by Meisner and Dennis Longwell that reviews lessons from Meisner’s classes. Here, he encourages a student, Bruce, to “just go,” because Bruce has a tendency to “sit on [his] emotion and hide it.” Meisner is giving Bruce permission to be ridiculous as long as he can hang on to his character’s emotion within the scene. Meisner says it is very good for your acting to be undignified, unmanly, etc. In my opinion he says so because he needs his students to understand how to play outside of their egos, to exercise the muscles that make imagination take hold over self-consciousness.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mbow4jcvkuckvbo2xzr3moqg/bafkreiga454umsbun4v7e53xb5w7mcgvopanlfx2tlilg3jlqaxsle4q7e@jpeg)
