The story has to be more important than the story teller for it to be fascinating.
It is easy to know your story and write it down, but once its written its a story not yours alone.
The Invisible Actor By Yoshi Oida.
In this practical and captivating study of the actor's art written with Lorna Marshall, Yoshi Oida explains that once the audience becomes openly aware of the actor's method and becomes too conscious of the actor's artistry, the wonder of performance dies. The audience must never see the actor but only his or her performance. Throughout Lorna Marshall provides a running commentary on Yoshi Oida's work and methods which help you understand the achievement of this singular theatrical artist.
However, my effort is not to depersonalise, that I think makes it lose its character.
