Welcome to fight club. the first rule of fight club is: you do not talk about fight club. the second rule of fight club is: you do not talk about fight club! third rule of fight club: if someone yells “stop!”, goes limp, or taps out, the fight is over. fourth rule: only two guys to a fight. fifth rule: one fight at a time, fellas. sixth rule: the fights are bare knuckle. no shirt, no shoes, no weapons. seventh rule: fights will go on as long as they have to. and the eighth and final rule: if this is your first time at fight club, you have to fight.

I've never seen a theater community to rival that of chicago. neither new york nor l.a. has the raw talent or integrity that chicago theater has, and i think it's because chicago doesn't have broadway or the film and tv business to distract it.
New York Integrity Thinking
Grinning, ducking my head for balance, i start to spin wildly as i can. that is my favorite dance, because it contains a secret. the faster i twirl, the more i am still inside. my dance is all motion without, all silence within. as much as i love to make music, it's the unheard music that never dies. and silence is my real dance, though it never moves. it stands aside, my choreographer of grace, and blesses each finger and toe.
Real Moving Silence
We dance for laughter, we dance for tears, we dance for madness, we dance for fears, we dance for hopes, we dance for screams, we are the dancers, we create the dreams.

What i don't like is when i see stuff that i know has had a lot of improv done or is playing around where there's no purpose to the scene other than to just be funny. what you don't want is funny scene, funny scene, funny scene, and now here's the epiphany scene and then the movie's over.
Purpose Done Want
What is a scene? a) a scene starts and ends in one place at one time (the aristotelian unities of time and place-this stuff goes waaaayyyy back). b) a scene starts in one place emotionally and ends in another place emotionally. starts angry, ends embarrassed. starts lovestruck, ends disgusted. c) something happens in a scene, whereby the character cannot go back to the way things were before. make sure to finish a scene before you go on to the next. make something happen.

Two women seldom grow intimate but at the expense of a third person; they make friendships as kings of old made leagues, who sacrificed some poor animal betwixt them, and commenced strict allies; so the ladies, after they have pulled some character to pieces, are from henceforth inviolable friends.

The influence of geographic factors diminishes as technology grows. the character and contour of a terrain may offer opportunities for agriculture, mining, or trade, but only the imagination and initiative of leaders, and the hardy industry of followers, can transform the possibilities into fact...man, not the earth, makes civilization.
Character Technology Opportunity
There were two things that became apparent, pretty quickly into the process. one was that the muscles didn't take as much reconditioning as i thought they would. it was more like voice acting than i thought it would be. you're using your whole body and there are things that are different, but when you are doing a character, even in the booth, nobody is watching but my face will do different things when i do different characters.
