    Uploaded by

    Uta Hagen outlines key questions actors should ask themselves to get into character, including who they are, where and when the story is set, their relationships, what they want and what obstacles they face. She describes the difference between representational actors who mimic characters externally versus presentational actors who find the character internally. Actors should develop a full identity for their role and use emotional memory. Additionally, every action a character takes should work towards their objective for each scene and their overarching super objective for the whole play.

    Respect for Acting– Uta Hagen

    -Who am I?
    -What time is it?
    -Where am I?
    -What surrounds me?
    -What are the given circumstances?
    -What are my relationships?
    -What do I want?
    -What is in my way?
    -What do I do to get what I want?

    The Actor:
    - There is the representational actor, who imitates a
    character’s behaviour
    - They try to copy their physicality and mimic their faces at all
    times
    - They want to act like them
    - Then the presentational actor, who focuses less on how they
    are coming across, and believes that they will portray their
    character correctly when they can find their character in
    themselves
    - They are more truthful
    - We must not assign adjectives to characters
    - Develop a full sense of identity
    - Emotional memory

    The Play and The Role:


    - The objective is what drives your character
    - They want to accomplish it with every line, action, and stage
    direction
    - They do everything for a reason
    - A character also has a super objective
    - They are trying to accomplish this through the whole play
