Every scene you will ever act begins in the middle, and it is up to you, the actor, to provide what comes before.
Michael ShurtleffAn actor is looking for conflict. Conflict is what creates drama. We are taught to avoid trouble [so] actors don't realize they must go looking for it. Plays are written about...the extraordinary, the unusual, the climaxes. The more conflict actors find, the more interesting the performance.
