The Actor's Other Selves: Subpersonalities as an Acting Approach

The Actor's Other Selves: Subpersonalities as an Acting Approach The Actor's Other Selves is the tenth book in a collection of texts that document the Eric Morris system of 'experiential acting.' This book is about SUBPERSONALITIES--what subpersonalities are, how they impact our lives and how we use them. It is exclusively written for actors.The journey of exploration starts with the origins and beginnings. Excerpts from books by Carl G.

All of those techniques and the approaches to them are explained in specific detail.In EXTERNALS I describe what that approach is and how to use it to access various subpersonalities. Externals is a 'megapproach' and an important part of my work. A megapproach is such a powerful technique that it could be used as a total acting system. Externals is a process that includes getting a sense of animals, people, insects and inanimate objects and then translating that energy into human behavior. This technique is very impacting on eliciting various subpersonalities. The last of this group is IMAGING, also a megapproach.The next section explains HOW YOU KNOW WHEN YOU ARE INHABITED BY A SUBPERSONALITY.
