There are 2 things that stick out to me when I think about the Meisner work we have done. The first is like what Madeline said, becoming a listener. The 2nd is like what Taylor said about letting everything in everyday life affect you and taking impulses off those and acting on them. I have too become a listener now. And now I let everything I hear have an effect on me. Well...I like to think everything...but I know I'm not that good yet :) In everyday life I find myself more expressive and more free than the average person bound by society. Now society sometimes prevents me from acting on those impulses I have, but I truly let everything affect me and I get something out of it...And if I can't act on it, I put it in my status on facebook :)
The ENTIRE work with impulses has really helped me grow tremendously as an actor. I feel more aware and connected when in the observed circumstance. And also I feel like when we approach text, I won't need to plan out what to do. I can now trust my impulses enough to just say go with it and whatever happens happens...And if it doesn't work, well, I tried :)
I feel Meisner has brought me more in touch with myself as a person too. Like I said, I feel I have something that no one else outside of the acting world has - Freedom.
Like Bruce Willis has told us "Live free or die hard!"
