In Pursuit of Divine Truth with Tyler Polumsky (Part II) The Actor’s Wish
-
- Performing Arts
"Existing is a constant state of overcoming if you want to grow” - Tyler Polumsky
Before we jump in, take stock: where do you find feelings of freedom onstage or onscreen?
*If you haven’t listened to Part I, we suggest doing so first!*
Part II gets even juicier as Tyler and I explore the tendencies, techniques, energies and ethos between Eastern and Western acting. The way artists are raised and the ways they’re expected to create in the world.
You’ll learn about:
Cerebral tendencies in Western art vs. the visceral world-building in the East (the itch, the breeze, the scent, the dust)
Analysis vs. études (you’ll learn what an étude is) and how études become building blocks to the visceral worlds we create onstage
Why it’s so important to know yourself as an individual in art
How Western theatre & schooling isn’t built to ‘take your time’ but excels in production
How Western training gears actors up to work authentically in cinema, but the same toolbelt doesn’t translate to the stage
How the Russian method curates their schooling process in mindful way that supports young actors to become artists
How Russian masters teach during the day and put their methods into action onstage at night
Why no Ilkhom student does a monologue until their 6th semester (the end of their second year)
How the business of the artist isn’t to engage the intellect, but the heart and soul
And SO much more. You’ll also discover why Ilkhom students aren’t allowed to walk through the Ilkhom playhouse, what I did for my invisible object étude and what Tyler is most excited about creating right now!
