Welcome to the Jungle

The Method Series Part 5 of 7:  How physically expressive are we in our own bodies? What stories can people devise from our physicality? What do actors do to help them take on the physical characteristics of another person? What do we gain by being able to “walk in someone else’s shoes”?

Each of us has a story. A full life overflowing with glorious adventures, tragic loses, heroic acts of bravery, unthinkable suffering and quiet moments of stillness. Those stories live in our body. When we’re able to observe ourselves and others with curiosity instead of judgement we open our capacity for empathy and compassion. We become curious learners, which is where learning comes from – pure curiosity. As we learn to become more genuinely curious we model that for our children.
