What Is Acting? Paper presented at NYU Theatre Pedagogy conference 2009James Croft
What is Acting? This is a question that many have tackled, but few have answered convincingly. It is also a question crucial for teachers of acting: if you don't know what you're teaching, how can you teach it?
This presentation, presented at New York University in April 2009, explores how different definitions of acting have led to different theatre training techniques, and tries to show a way forward using the philosophy of Nelson Goodman.
There is also a short discussion of emotion and its relationship to good acting.
In this ppt we explore the psychological impact of diverse acting schools on people around the world it includes modern day inspiration of different acting schools
In this original Digital Art and Philosophy class, we will become familiar with different forms of digital art and related philosophical issues.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2. • The most visible element of the theatre; it seems to personify theatre.
• Thespis -- considered to be the first actor -- thus the term thespian -- 554 BC.
• The performance centers around the actor, who conveys the combined intents of author and
director.
• Acting can be considered as a "pure art": the artist and the instrument are the same
• Methodological training of actors has established itself as a theatrical phenomenon alongside
directing during the last hundred years. Late 19th century.
• As the quality of acting in a play differed immensely between one performance and the next,
methods had to be found that ensured constant results.
• Training in breathing, posture, body movements and psychological mechanisms facilitated the
repeated reproduction of certain moods and attitudes on stage.
• There are two basic theoretical approaches to modern acting: the external or technical
method and the internal or realistic method.
3. THE INTERNAL METHOD
• Builds on individual identification of the actor with his part
• Personal experience of feelings and the internalization of emotions and situations that are
required in the part underlie the internal method.
• discovers the emotional truth of the character
• works best with "realistic" theatre -- for which it was originally intended.
• Requires an emotional intelligence and understanding.
• Uses more of an "inside-out" approach.
• Think the thought and the action will follow.
• The "magic if" -- What would I do if I were that character in that situation?
4. THE INTERNAL METHOD
• The term "affective memory" has often been used to refer to use of the actor's memory
to find things in his/her life that are similar to, or could evoke, the emotions required by
the character on stage.
This would involve emotional memory (remembering feeling from the past),
sense memory (remembering sensations), and substitution (mentally replacing the
thing / person in the play with something / someone in real life
5. THE EXTERNAL METHOD
• Russian director Konstantin Stanislavsky (1863–1938), and his pupil Lee Strasberg (1901–82)
• the actor is supposed to be able to imitate the moods required in his part by using certain
techniques, but without actually feeling these moods
• Discovering ways to convey emotions vocally and physically and project to the audience
• Requires an intellectual understanding
• Uses more of an "outside-in" approach
• Do the action and then the feeling will follow - physical actions can lead to emotional reactions..
• Emphasis on Body language
• It relies on impersonation and simulation
• This technique, known as The Method, stresses “showing” rather than “being.”
• Marlon Brando (*1924), James Dean (1931–55), Paul Newman (*1925) and Julie Harris
(*1925).
• Most actors use a combination of both
6. REPRESENTATIONAL
VS PRESENTATIONAL ACTING
• Representational: actors want to make us "believe" they are the character; they "pretend.
• Dustin Hoffman, Meryl Streep, Robert DeNiro, Samuel L. Jackson
• Presentational: rather than "pretending" they are the character, actors "present" the
character to us,
• almost as if saying, "Hi, this is the actor speaking, and I'm going to present the ideas of this
character to you; I don't really believe I'm anything other than myself, but you can believe it if
you want.“ Paul Newman, Denzel Washington
• In the later 20th century, there have been reinterpretations and rejections of this "method.“
• A "revolt" against Stanislavsky's "method" acting: Brecht's "Alienation-effect" asks actors
to "present" their characters to the audience and specifically NOT to get involved
