I am not sure a what point an GAP Acting Atelier became an idea. Perhaps it was after reading Alison Hodge’s “Acting Technique” or perhaps it was watching students use the technique for fast work in a Mocap Vaults class in Montreal? I do know that it struck me enough, in the middle of the night, to force me to get up and write it down so I could free myself to sleep again.

…each generation should stand on the shoulders of giants and attempt to answer these questions all over again for themselves, using all the information of the day: Combine what we know and what we have been taught, with the knowledge we have such easy access to on behavioural and neurological studies and evolving psychological theory. Technique will evolve and itself will be superseded in its time.
