Happy Birthday, Edward Norton (August 18, 1969)
Always insightful and articulate about the craft he loves, Edward Norton who trained in the Meisner Technique talks, among other things, about an aspect rarely discussed in "public arenas": The Importance of Text Analysis.
Indeed, once the actor knows how to respond authentically moment to moment, how to fulfill the blocs of dramatic structure, it is time to dwell into an ACTOR's Text Analysis (which is different from a director's text analysis). It is about boiling down the complexity of a whole text (a scene, a script, a play...) to something act-able and personalis-able to each actor through choices.
All this preparative work is done prior to being on set, so actors can be free to then let go and connect. The mistake would be to believe that all one has to do is connect: In the moment connection is the bottom line, but there is more exciting things than the bottom line!!!
Enjoy Edward Norton passionate insight about acting!

This was extremely informative and very helpful! Very few name actors discuss in detail the necessity of understanding style. Many cannot articulate it.

Amazing! Careful he was born in 1969 not 1959.

True - AS WELL AS OTHER ACTING APPROACHES - don't get so cocky and try to claim that Meisner is the ONLY way - amateurish to say Happy birthday to him as if you are personally associating him - he doesn't know who you are, personally, he doesn't care who you are - and he will actually despise that you are promoting him as a Meisner advocate when he has said countless times he is not a fan of GURU acting. This is a load of hedonistic, egotistical marketing crap that is MISLEADING students - so YOU CAN GET MONEY. PERIOD.

Dear @Delaware Simons, Your angry charge which source must be legitimate is misplaced in attributing me with a purpose that belongs to your perception but has little to do with me, apart from, I wish to believe, our commune love for the craft of acting Yes, other techniques among some that I studied, enjoyed and use in my teaching, are aiming at the same goal: Truthful acting, going towards it in different ways. Though the training in the studio is grounded in the Meisner Technique, this YT channel is full of actors from different training backgrounds. Everyday, one “Happy Birthday…” post appears on my FB & IG pages. On YT I try to post longer contents (which prevents me to post everyday). But when I highlight an actor who trained & shares insight on aspects similar to the training I chose to share, it gives me an opportunity to underline points we touched on in class. This is the case with Edward Norton. As he also trained in the Method & its Sense Memory, it is included in this very compilation. But sharing my point of view triggered you in a way that reveals problems that I do not believe I provoked in your life. Please consider for a moment, that you do not know me and that you are interpreting what I wrote with an angle that belongs to you & your experience of life. If choosing to highlight one actor a day following the calendar equals “name-dropping” for you, well, it is the angle you choose to see it with. How anyone can believe that my niche studio in Ireland is acquainted with all the actors presented here by their birth date, is an assumption I believe you are misplacing on who comes here to discover insights on acting. Very few people actually want to be actors. To add to it, actors and acting have been downgraded since roughly a decade to an amateurish marketable "client-ism" that hurts the momentum of those who are truly dedicated and often feel outnumbered even in classes supposedly aiming at nurturing the process of individual artists. As you might know, the work is too specific, precise and deep to do with "any kind of students", let alone “luring students”. Come to Dublin, we’ll laugh about it together once you will realise the artisan work we dedicate ourselves to. But maybe we could also take this occasion to converse among people who actually care about acting, so it allows your love for acting to bloom without attempting to hurt those who actually care about it. We are not many. You are of course able to keep mocking my deed, but it would be counterproductive as it could be useful placed where it can initiate a change. But if you have the time to discuss your love, interest and practice, I believe, it could be all the more enlightening and insightful for at least both of us. Wishing you to find ways to use the passion you developed for the work in inspiring ways. Take good care.
