i've stumbled across a freaking phenomenal pbs show: the shakespeare sessions (shame on pbs for not actually having any info! the meager descriptions google is finding are all dry and underwhelming). in an informal workshop setting, perfectly accomplished actors perform dialogues & monologues and then this old grizzled man stops them and helps them re-interpret the lines for clarity or rhythm or motivation. it's a remarkable behind-the-scenes look at how acting happens, all entangled in analysis and instinct.
