DISCUSSION
A) One benefit this method has in that you do not
need any objects or a script with you. This
method will not take the whole day to perform. If
you are stressed out this method should be able
to calm you down. B) One disadvantage this
method has is that you are going to need a group
of people. Also it would be better to use this
method in a quiet setting.

Conclution
My opinion about this method is it could be very
helpful for people to get into character. Or they
are trying to find out why their character is
doing a certain action. But I think that I would
not use this method because it is only
concentrating on one aspect of acting. Robert
Lewis I think that he was a brilliant man because
he found a way for a person to get into a
character without studying it for a long time.
