If you’re ever in a scene where your character is meant to be inactive, you must equally compensate for it by finding a way to make what you’re doing especially active. For example, your character is “bored” or “depressed” or “listless,” you cannot “play bored or depressed. You must give yourself something active to do, whether it’s an activity with a definite end, or a larger action like something to fight for. In the second half of the class, Milton works with a student on the “Love/Hate exercise” and talks about the importance of letting your choices feed you. Have a question for Milton?
