• Ann Bogart does the Viewpoints technique @ SITI
• Assumption and pre-determination are the enemy of art
• IMPROV=SEE, HEAR, WATCH, BREATH
• LET IT BE TRUES THAT HAPPEN IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SCENE HELPS ACTOR TO MAKE STRONG CHOICE-IT UPS THE STAKES.
  
• TIP: IMPROV CHARACTER'S SITUATION-FEELINGS ARE WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR.
  
• HOMEWORK: FIND A SCENE AND START MONOLOGUING IT; IMPROV THE SCENE.
  

• It is not your responsibility to produce results- you are responsible for creating an environment where something can happen
• Form-structure tools, craft; Expression= non-thought
• you don't play the piece, the piece plays you!
• HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT- EVERYDAY FOR A WEEK, DURING ANY HUMAN INTERACTION, IDENTIFY WHAT YOU WANT FROM THAT PERSON. "WHAT DO I WANT FROM THAT PERSON, AND WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO TO GET IT?" (THE ACTION MUST BE SINGULAR, AVAILABLE, ACTIONABLE, AND MONITORABLE.
• NO DRAMA WITHOUT CONFLICT-NO CONFLICT WITHOUT OBSTACLES.

• "Your scene partner will give you all you need to know"
• "Partner's intentions will give you what you need in order to respond."
• "We should follow what is right in front of us-improv with the text."
• TIMEBOMB-a physical something we decide to do during a scene, but we don't know when we are going to use it.
• "The interactions make the scene, not the dialogue."
• "thoughts are of the past; being is direct, current, experience/reaction.
• Seven ways we experience the phenomenal world: feelings, emotions, sensation, imagination, memory, action, thought.
• LET IT BE TRUE- suggestions to being which provides framework...can be in conflict with want.
• Listen to impulse, not thinking.
• Our being is completely suggestible
• Act from feeling, not from thinking.
• NO CHARACTERS!  :(
• Impulses+ Instincts+Reactions= ALL GOOD
• Be outer focused-care about other actor's performance.
• The self-contained actor is a bore. ZZZzzzzz. The attention of the actor must be outer focused.

• Artists and Scientists keep one hand on the specific, one on the unknown.
• "Fear leads to security, trust leads to freedom"- William Hurt
• Don't worry about changing patterns, go deeper into the pattern.
• FIRST THOUGHT, BEST THOUGHT; FIRST REACTION, BEST REACTION
• the actor's job is to accomplish a task, not tell a story or feel anything.
• NEVER MEMORIZE LINES AGAIN-PLAY WITH MATERIAL!!
• Wants, timebombs, impulses, let it be trues, see-hear-breathe.
