Method Acting and the Construction of Identity
In this chapter, they discuss method acting and how actors embody a character to the point of living and breathing that character. They talk about the value of recognizing that the self is a construct of our identity and how our engagement with reality is shaped by our constructs and belief systems. They also discuss the process of creating a new character and embodying its physicality, and the subtle shifts and shedding of identities that come with it.
