The Actor's Other Selves

of "experiential acting." This book is about SUBPERSONALITIES-what subpersonalities are, how they
impact our lives and how we use them. It is exclusively written for actors.
The journey of exploration starts with the origins and beginnings. Excerpts from books by Carl G. Jung, a
Swiss psychologist who explored archetypes, are followed by the use and description of behavioral
examples of personalities. The theory is then examined: who are the selves, how were they created and
how do they function?
The exploration continues with a technique that I created many years ago: THE ELEVENTH LEVEL OF
CONSCIOUSNESS, which is totally explained. Then comes EXPERIENCE HUNTING-CHOICE HUNTING,
detailing the various approaches used to find experiences and choices that can be used in one's acting.
In the next section of the book, which is a very large section, I detail specifically the approach techniques
for accessing subpersonalities, which are:
VOICE DIALOGUE (a complete example of the process is given), WRITING IN JOURNAL FORM OR
USING A TAPE RECORDER, USING MOVEMENT AND DANCE, USING ART AND DRAWING, USING
CHOICES, USING MUSIC, AND ROLEPLAYING. All of those techniques and the approaches to them
are explained in specific detail. In EXTERNALS I describe what that approach is and how to use it to
access various subpersonalities. Externals is a "megapproach" and an important part of my work. A
megapproach is such a powerful technique that it could be used as a total acting system. Externals is a
process that includes getting a sense of animals, people, insects and inanimate objects and then
translating that energy into human behavior. This technique is very impacting on eliciting various
subpersonalities. The last of this group is IMAGING, also a megapproach.
The next section explains HOW YOU KNOW WHEN YOU ARE INHABITED BY A SUBPERSONALITY. The
actor must be able to distinguish between really inhabiting the energy of a subpart and faking it!
The DAILY SUBPERSONALITY INVENTORY is an exercise the actor should do on a daily basis to be able to
identify the difference between a mood swing and a subpersonality.
The section on RESEARCHING THE CHARACTER explains how to identify the different character elements
and find a subpersonality to fulfill those components.
All of that is followed by a section about going back to historical events, such as the Second World War
or the post-war years and exploring characters in plays and films o
