Dramarama
“A couple days after Guys and Dolls performed, I had to stand up and recite a speech from Medea. When I finished, Morales brought the entire group around to look at the way my foot had tensed while I’d been speaking. My toes were curled under, he pointed out.
Then he gave a long lecture on leaving our personal agita, our tics and pains—and in essence, our personalities—behind as we stood up onstage. People nodded and looked at my foot like it was some festering disease that they didn’t want to c...atch.
“What if we want to bring our personalities with us?” I asked Morales. “Isn’t that what people do who are method actors? Stanislavski and Strasberg and all that?”
I had read about the Method in a book, before coming to Wildewood. I had figured that since I had no acting training, I should study up on it so I wouldn’t be behind.
