Charlie

Here I am a potbellied “Charlie” …. playing the part of the overly intellectual professor when the two “Idiots” come in, and I try to teach them about astronomy.
It was part of our 3-scene skit assignment.

How myoho it was that I decided to propose a Buddhist fable as a starting point for our piece, and three other workshop members were also SGI-Nichiren buddhists.

The methodology here is so opposite Per Brahe’s approach to mask work, but more in a direct link to Larry Hunt’s methods. Per makes you work almost psychically with direction from the mask itself…. while the other two workshops were based on a physical approach based on seeking body work, and kinesthetic sense. However, unlike Per’s workshop, the actor always had seen the mask first.
