Notes from a workshop with Michael Gellman:
A character knows more than the actor
The product of a scene is not your responsibility. It is the character's responsibility
Emotion and Reaction = Honesty
Pick something and find something about it to have a strong emotional connection. Out of the emotional response will come a character
Characters must have stairs to climb in a scene
Our discoveries come through objects, others and the environment
If you get a suggestion such as "you are in the desert" think about the possibilities. You don't have to be thirsty just because you are in the desert. "Fuck it...make a sandwich if you want!"
