Let us continue from where we left last week highlighting the relationship between the actor and the multiples roles that are played.
Is there a litmus test to evaluate whether we are maintaining a cognitive ‘distance’ between the Actor and the Role?
Ego refers to our sense of individuality. Ego need not be or cannot be eliminated. Rather, we need to harness the power of the ego in constructive pursuits. When we interact with the world with an intention to build, then we are playing the respective role appropriately. When we cognitively maintain a distance between the actor and the role, our acting skills are honed with every experience..
On the other hand, if our thoughts, words and actions are being executed with an intention to destroy people, objects and/ or relationships, then it is clearly a sign that we are displaying poor acting skills. Such a person wrongly thinks that the problems of the role belong to the actor. It also indicates the level of emotional immaturity in that person.
