Acting is the expression of energy – the characterisation of emotions that actors present on stage. While structuring and composing the action on stage, actors have to also structure the energy in their bodies — where it comes from, where it is heading, where it ebbs and flows. The sum composition of these “flows” amounts to how well an actor can stimulate and direct their energy in precise ways.

Actors often get paralyzed in the “thinking brain”, over-analysing the depth or intensity of emotion and thereby closing themselves off to their work. Through this demonstration, Soo Ming proposes for the actor to begin anew, refocusing on the relationship between physical movement and internal flow, and allowing their innate and instinctive energy to feed the demands of an emotional state.
