{"title":"The Three Centers: A Framework for Inclusivity in the Acting Classroom","authors":"Abigail Killeen","doi":"10.5325/ecumenica.15.2.0145","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5325/ecumenica.15.2.0145","url":null,"abstract":"\u0000 This essay presents a framework for teaching the art of acting in service of the urgent, moral need to ensure acting classrooms are inclusive. Inspired by a study of the Enneagram as a tool for spiritual formation, the essay reorganizes acting pedagogy into the “Three Intelligences,” or the engagement of the heart, the body, and the mind. The author presents how the art of acting can be taught in a way that charts growth through a student’s integration of these intelligences through a variety of training methods rather than privileging mastery of a particular acting technique. This methodology also makes space for new and more diverse approaches to the art of acting, broadening the American pedagogical heritage of acting techniques belonging to primarily white, Western teachers.","PeriodicalId":29827,"journal":{"name":"Ecumenica-Performance and Religion","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47655174","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ZZ is designed to improve the ability to avoid the detrimental effects of stage fright that often rest on the actor-director dyad, via expanding consciousness and focus guiding. ZZ includes external and internal psychosomatic actor training and intellectual appreciation of consciousness as derived from yoga philosophy and practice and from coaching. This essay is a discussion of the need to develop an elevated internal state of the performer, to unlock the blockages in the performer and in a spectator’s reception. I introduce here a critical review of scholars’ findings and my personal, practical experiences of forty years in Stanislavskian and physical theatre-making, self-cultivation coaching, and yoga.","PeriodicalId":29827,"journal":{"name":"Ecumenica-Performance and Religion","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46001399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
