In this seminar, Mariano Cabrera describes the principles, directions, assignments, techniques, exercises, and examples needed for the mastery of the actor’s craft and art of portraying character.
It is a psychophysical method in the sense that it combines the “external” and “internal” approaches to character study into one complementary system, consisting of various methods and movement techniques. It is so because the different aspects or dispositions of the character require different approaches.
Mariano Cabrera guides the actor, step by step, how to explore and develop the character in all its aspects. It is a thorough method of character study. The actor’s work proceeds in three stages: interpretation of, identification with, and self-expression in or in relation to the character.
The actor interprets the character by analyzing the character’s dispositions, traits, circumstances, conducts, actions, and deeds. Specificity is stressed as the key to strict interpretation of the character, the way the author intended it.
The actor identifies with the character through embodiment and/or personification of the character’s dispositions and qualities, and by re-creating the character’s manner and conduct, as exactly as possible.
The actor reveals his or her identity by self-expressing in or in relation to the character. The motto is: “Find yourself in the character and the character in yourself.” More information at info@ny-aa.com
