I am more than happy to talk about acting as an inner and outer process. In this day and age that goes against the grain of common attitudes and perspective.
But,
Actors create experientially what poets and other artists only describe - to borrow from or paraphrase Lee Strasberg. And once they do it, they have to repeat it, over and over, from one try to the next, from one day to the next.
In order for that replication to take place - literally as if for the first time each time - the actors body must follow a set of commands provided by the mind. And this happens actually on two levels so to speak. One level is the actor as artist...he/she percieving the work to be done. The Other level is the actor as the living material of the art, the stage experience. Sounds complicated, but its not. Simply put..."The mind asks and the body responds."
