A blog entry for my spatial design class:
structural acting

Stanislavski’s most significant gift to acting was action, or intention. The idea that a character’s behavior could be most simply expressed as a series of desires which an actor could then perform. […] If we extrapolate Plasticity of Motion to the design of structures and objects, two lessons become clear. One, that there can be a kernel of truth, an action or desire from which the structure must grow (and inversely, that a structure will ultimately convey that action or desire). And two, stripping away habitual forms and motions will allow that essential desire to be fully expressed.
