Overview

This book is a collection of ""open scenes"" for actors. The scenes contain little to no stage directions and no indications regarding specific emotions. The actor learns to say ""I don't know"" to many details of the scene. This is on purpose. In this way the actor must trust both the text and him- or herself, his or her partner, and the moment.
