Essence :
To accomplish this goal the actor's primary tasks are:
1. To determine what desires his character has at each moment of
the play.
2. To determine what actions are required to successfully attain
those desires.
3. To convincingly perform those determined actions.
It is also extrememly difficult, if not impossible, to do from
curtain to curtain. Even great masters have lapses during a performance.
It is a great rarity indeed to achieve a perfect performance in
every aspect. Many things can impair an actor's ability to act,
for every moment, in the here-and-now: concentration can be momentarily
broken, entire pages of dialog can be skipped by fellow actors,
scenery and props can be uncooperative or missing...many things
can interfere with total perfection.
