Teaching Philosophy
Actors are crafted storytellers.
Actors use their craft to express the complexities of what we call the human condition.
However, an actor needs much more than craft. An actor needs empathy.
I have found that it can be difficult to teach empathy.
But I have also found that through encouraging actors to look at others’ lives, their triumphs and their struggles, empathy can be cultivated.
Through this new way of seeing, I’ve witnessed actors make that courageous leap from egocentrism to altruism. It is an embodied experiential leap, not a theoretical leap.
When this happens, an actor’s work is forever changed.
