| Synopsis: | Imagine you awoke one morning and didn't know who you were. You felt healthy, and all the material trappings of your life surround you—except memories. Your task becomes to construct a life using the evidence that you can find. Such is the work of the actor. Juxtaposing the 1919 silent film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari against a new text created from the words of eight of history's leading acting theorists, Dr. C (Or How I Learned to Act in Eight Steps) investigates the history of acting through athletically precise movement, live music, innovative projections and songs. It is an unintentional homage to the people and ideas that, for better or for worse, have irrevocably shaped the way we view the art of acting - press release | |||||
