A coach works with an actor on a scene where the goal is getting a confession. The focus is on tapping real emotion instead of planning the performance, and asking yourself what you're actually done with to find honest reactions in the moment.
What do you want from him right there? If you think about your objective of the scene, I.
Want to escape him, but from him, I want him.
To confess. Now you close your eyes for a second and you plucked what happened just before.
All right. There is nothing left. Nothing I have done. So you're gonna let go. I'm gonna grow up without a mother?
Yeah. Are you really done? Feel the time in your life when you really, really felt like you.
I'm done.
What are you done with in your life right now?
I'm done.
That's right. Most of the time we get stuck because we have an idea of the way the scene has to drive. And what I want you to do is breaking that, to listen to each other and to go to moment to moment and make sure that the emotional life is coming from an instant moment. And trust the fact that you have an instinct.
No, there's nothing there.
