The Ability to See

The Ability to See

One of Stella Adler’s fundamental exercises was a visualization exercise. This is something we can do anytime and anywhere— walking down the street, driving down the highway, standing in the shower. The more you train yourself how to see, the more specific your work will become, and the more the images will feed you emotionally. But this is not work you can do intellectually, deciding beforehand what the images are. It requires a leap of faith to be fully present and let the images come to you. Eventually, you will find specific things that make you come alive. Have an acting question for Milton? Email him at: questionsformilton@gmail.com
