Syntax & Language

Innate "Communication" is the key - The lexicon and syntax between women and men is distinctly different don't under estimate this difference know that often what is thought to be clear and cleanly understood quite often is not the case. Ask yourself how do you communicate to assure and insure your direction is clearly, cleanly understood and accepted. Use VAK.

Ladies - Identify your 3 top, all time favorite, over the top, heat stopping best ever scenes, the ones that you can't help but stop to watch when you pass the flat screen display at Best Buy

Anchors - in Acting

LPS Directing - The cold reading work will require the director to request the actor to get to specific locations in the space. When the actor gets to that location go over the specifics of the character in that specific moment, make sure the fighting for has a sharp edge. or maybe an opposite. Request the actor to remember the fighting 4 when they cross to the location, sit, stand, breath etc.

By creating Anchors using any of the guideposts in the set space your maintianing the fighting for of the scene and often charging it back up or "raising the stakes" into the scene rapidly and clearly. Identify a chair, a space on the wall, even as simple as standing, sitting and a big breath. That becomes the "Anchor" tie have the actor touch / hear / or feel that action to a specific line or script location bottom of the first column. Then step back and see what happens. The actors will move with intention (because you told them to) and when they get to the directed location the scene should get a pop or shot in the arm.

This is way more interesting then having the actor look to organically feel the best movements or just wander within the space until their next line. Most of the time the actor is still trying to feel / see / or hear the character.

Using anchors will

• Keep the directing from encourageing wandering generalities
• Encourage meaningful specifics.

Being in the moment or being in "FLOW"

Flow with Soul is an interview with Csikszentmihalyi (btw, his name is pronounced “Chicks sent me high”).

"The fact that you were completely immersed in what you were doing, that the concentration was very high, that you knew what you had to do moment by moment, that you had very quick and precise feedback as to how well you were doing, and that you felt that your abilities were stretched but not overwhelmed by the opportunities for action.
In other words, the challenges were in balance with the skills and when those conditions were present.

You began to forget all the things that bothered you in everyday life, forget the self as an entity separate from what was going on — you felt you were a part of something greater and you were just moving along with the logic of the activity. Everyone said that it was like being carried by a current, spontaneous, effortless like a flow. You also forget time and are not afraid of being out of control. You think you can control the situation if you need to.

But it’s hard because the challenges are hard. It feels effortless and yet it’s extremely dependent on concentration and skill. So it’s a paradoxical kind of condition where you feel that you are on a nice edge, between anxiety on the one hand and boredom on the other. You’re just operating on this fine line where you can barely do what needs to be done."

In the moment or in "FLOW"? (pt 2)

Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, author of “Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience,” describes flow as “being completely involved in an activity for its own sake. The ego falls away. Time flies. Every action, movement, and thought follows inevitably from the previous one, like playing jazz. Your whole being is involved, and you’re using your skills to the utmost.”
Csikszentmihalyi’s ideas on flow stemmed from his attempt to discover a path to happiness. He wanted to figure out “how to live life as a work of art, rather than as a chaotic response to external events.”

“Flow” & Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi discusses what it feels like to be in flow:

1. Completely involved, focused, concentrating – with this either due to innate curiosity or as the result of training.
2. Sense of ecstasy – of being outside everyday reality.
3. Great inner clarity – knowing what needs to be done and how well it is going.
4. Knowing the activity is doable – that the skills are adequate, and neither anxious or bored.
5. Sense of serenity – no worries about self, feeling of growing beyond the boundaries of ego – afterwards feeling of transcending ego in ways not thought possible.
6. Timeliness – thoroughly focused on present, don’t notice time passing.
6. Intrinsic motivation – whatever produces “flow” becomes its own reward.

So how do you get there? Wikipedia’s entry on the subject says the following conditions help:

1. Clear goals (expectations and rules are discernable).
2. A high degree of concentration on a limited field of attention (a person engaged in the activity will have the opportunity to focus and to delve deeply into it).
3. Direct and immediate feedback (successes and failures in the course of the activity are apparent, so that behavior can be adjusted as needed).
4. Balance between ability level and challenge (the activity is neither too easy nor too difficult).
5. A sense of personal control over the situation or activity.
6. The activity is intrinsically rewarding, so there is an effortlessness of action.

The Audience - Group environment matters too.

1. A couple of flow friendly space attributes:
2. Creative spatial arrangements: Chairs, pin walls, charts, however no tables, therefore primarily work in standing and moving.
3. Playground design: Charts for information inputs, flow graphs, project summary, craziness, safe place (people can say what is usually only thought), result wall, and open topics.

Enemies of flow include fearing what other people think…

1. A major constraint on people enjoying what they are doing is always being conscious

a. Of a fear of how they appear to others

b. What these others might think.

Ecstasy includes rising above these constraining concerns of the ego. ...and mundane daily routines. Stepping outside of normal daily routines is an essential element…This might be obtained through diverse routes or activities, such as reading a novel or becoming involved in a film.

Longest-Running TV Shows

The first television drama aired in 1928, but it wasn't until after World War II that TV really took off. Today, satellite and cable options provide a TV smorgasbord. Although many news programs and soap operas have lasted longer, we've narrowed this list down to longest-running dramas and sitcoms in United States­ television history. Grab the remote and take a trip down TV's memory lane.

1. Gunsmoke (1955-1975)

Gunsmoke tops the list as the longest-running dramatic series in network television history with 635 episodes. Set in Dodge City, Kansas, during the 1870s, Gunsmoke began as a radio program in 1952, switched to the land of visual entertainment in 1955, and finally ended its 20-year run in 1975.

2. Lassie (1954-1972)

Running for 588 episodes, Lassie centered around a loyal canine companion who rescued her human family from various predicaments. Over the years, Lassie was portrayed by nine different male dogs, all descendants of the original Lassie, whose real name was Pal. During the show's run, Lassie had various owners, most notably Timmy and Jeff. Only three dogs have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame -- Lassie, Rin Tin Tin, and Strongheart.

3. Death Valley Days (1952-1970)

In 1952, Death Valley Days, which aired as a radio show from 1930 to 1945, evolved into a successful TV show that lasted 18 seasons. A host introduced each of the 451 episodes, which were based on actual pioneer stories that took place in southeastern California and western Nevada during the late 1800s. Future President Ronald Reagan and country singer Merle Haggard were among the hosts during the show's run.

4. The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet (1952-1966)

What began as a radio program in 1944 became a movie (Here Come the Nelsons) in 1952 and then a successful television program that ran for 435 episodes. In this wholesome show, the characters played themselves -- Ozzie and Harriet Nelson and their two sons, David and Ricky. Ozzie's roots were in music, so when Ricky's talent started to emerge, Ozzie wrote it into the story line, ending each show with a performance by his younger son. These weekly, televised performances helped skyrocket Ricky onto the pop charts, making him a teen idol as well as a successful recording artist.

5. Bonanza (1959-1973)

Airing for 430 episodes, this Western was set in the mid-1800s on a Nevada ranch called "The Ponderosa." The show revolved around the life of Ben Cartwright and his sons, Adam, Hoss, and Little Joe (played by Michael Landon). Bonanza was the first series to tape all of its shows in color, and it held the number one spot on the Nielsen ratings chart from 1964 to 1967.

6. Law & Order (1990-????)

With 390 episodes (and counting) under its belt since it premiered in 1990, the key to this show's success may lie in its ever-revolving cast. None of the original actors remain on the show, and most cast members only stick around a couple of seasons. Still, the show must go on, and the New York City Police Department and District Attorney's office have their hands (and squad cars and jail cells) full as they clean up the streets of Manhattan on this award-winning drama. Halfway through each episode, the focus shifts from investigation to prosecution of the same case.

7. Dallas (1978-1991)

You'd think life on a Texas oil ranch and mansion named "Southfork" would be sublime, but not so for this feuding bunch. For 357 episodes, Dallas revolved around the wealthy Ewing family -- oil baron and patriarch Jock Ewing; his wife, Miss Ellie; and their sons, JR, Bobby, and black sheep Gary. When JR was shot in the finale of the third season, "Who Shot JR?" mania swept across the country -- and much of the world. But viewers had to wait until four episodes into the new season to find out who pulled the trigger. The episode titled "Who Done It?" was the second-most-watched show in the history of television.

8. Knots Landing (1979-1993)

These were the original desperate housewives. (In fact, Nicollette Sheridan was among the cast!) The show's premise centered on Gary Ewing (from Dallas) and his lovely bumpkin wife, Valene, who moved to California. Their neighbors included a host of dysfunctional families and through marriages, affairs, births, stolen babies, murders, novels, new business enterprises, and even a televangelist brother, this show kept viewers watching for 344 episodes.
