"When two actors are really acting together (not just the text saying to each other) the public may feel that "something" happens between them. This "something" is not emotion or psychology. Is more basic. For example, when you reach and touch someone's hand is a simple action. May not have any history or psychological reason, or emotion behind the gesture, but emerges a fundamental and genuine exchange between two people. It is difficult to find the words to DESCRIBES exactly what has been exchanged. Perhaps we could call it "physical sensation" or "fundamental human energy." Whatever you call it, the actors must engage in this exchange process to create "theater." For more deftly explaining things through the words of the text, without this essential exchange, the "theater" does not happen. Each actor must strive to find and retain this level of contact, and when it arises, the full text comes alive. "
