*Script: *The Glass Menagerie, by Tennessee Williams - Copies Provided



The DNA of a script are the basic building blocks of scene investigation.
The discovery and identification of these separate elements will deepen the
actor's understanding to the material and heighten the ability to live
"in-the-moment".  Moment to moment acting is indispensable and vital to the
creation of moving and believable performances  The scene study and analysi=
s
will guide the performer to the organic communication of these moments,
resulting in pure action; clear, economic, committed and comprehensive.
This process and it's principals can be applied to every monologue, scene,
every separate act, and an entire play.



Actor and Director scene investigation:

   - A step by step approach; investigation leads to *doing* rather than
   *being.*
   - Clear, immediate, easily accessible; a one page reference graph
   becomes the actor's roadmap; a guide that leads the performer to actions=
.

   with the play and discovering important patterns which may go unnoticed.
