Comments on: The Meisner DVD http://pragueplayhouse.com/2007/02/13/the-meisner-dvd/ Information for, by and about Prague's performing artists Tue, 02 Dec 2008 11:45:55 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: José Angel Santana http://pragueplayhouse.com/2007/02/13/the-meisner-dvd/#comment-375 José Angel Santana Tue, 13 Mar 2007 12:06:44 +0000 http://pragueplayhouse.com/2007/02/13/the-meisner-dvd/#comment-375 Hi Erica, Yes, I've heard Emily speak about you often, I remember meeting you once as well. Is that right? I remember when you were beginning your study with Bill Alderson. Well, no, I'm not in Prague, I just have happened to meet Brain and the Prague Playhouse folks here on the internet. Funny how it might seem that I'm in Prague, I'm in New Jersey. I don't know if you know that folks at the Prague Playhouse, but they seem like very cool people. And you have some things in common as Brain studied at Playhouse West, with Bob Carnegie who is also a onetime student of Bill Alderson. I've been in touch with Dack and Emily quite a bit recently. We had dinner together here in New York, just a few months ago. What are you doing in Prague? Should I move there?

Well, no, I’m not in Prague, I just have happened to meet Brain and the Prague Playhouse folks here on the internet. Funny how it might seem that I’m in Prague, I’m in New Jersey.

I don’t know if you know that folks at the Prague Playhouse, but they seem like very cool people. And you have some things in common as Brain studied at Playhouse West, with Bob Carnegie who is also a onetime student of Bill Alderson.

I’ve been in touch with Dack and Emily quite a bit recently. We had dinner together here in New York, just a few months ago.

What are you doing in Prague? Should I move there?

José, I don't know you and we have never but Emily is my sister...and thus Dack is my "brother." It is quite surprising to find you in Prague, sort of. (I am from LA, but living here for the year.) Wow! José, I don’t know you and we have never but Emily is my sister…and thus Dack is my “brother.” It is quite surprising to find you in Prague, sort of.

I highly recommend anyone who is serious about this to listen to the podcast. I bought a copy of the DVD and will be showing it in Prague for the class. It would also be great for people to keep up with other people’s takes on acting and working on acting, so I encourage you to keep up with the Inexplicable DumbShow and Mirror up to Nature and add comments on other places to find good discussions.

I wish I was better at this blog thing so that I could do all this more elegantly. But alas, below is a link to something about your article that reflects some of the same wonder that you express in your above post. It's a pleasure to share these things with others. And like you, I am a bit awestruck at the power of this medium of communication, I mean humans. Here is the link: http://www.youand.net/youandblogspace/neighborhoodplayhouse/2007/02/bread-and-wine.html All the best!
