The Power of Silence
The Power of Silence
• Why silence?
–There is no such thing as nothing – there is
always something.
–Silence has a myriad of meanings. In
theater, silence is an absence of words, but
never an absence of meaning.
The Power of Silence
– A word can be emphasized and a thought
underlined by silence.
– Silence has a certain energy to it like no other
energy source. It has the power to get people to
think and to act. It can help slow the mind down.
Meisner on Silence
• “Silence has a myriad of meanings. In the theater silence is an
absence of words, but never an absence of meaning.”
• Meisner: “A moment of silence is something, too. Let me
prove it to you. Ask me whether I think you have talent.”
• Student: “Mr. Meisner, do you think I have talent?”
• Meisner’s head cocks away from the student and he maintains
complete silence. The class begins to laugh.
• Meisner: “That was silent, wasn’t it? My silence was very
expressive.”
The Power of Silence
• The trouble with silence is that it can make
people feel uncomfortable and alone, that’s
why the world is filled with TV’s that have
been left on when nobody is watching, for
background noise.
• Friends and family ask me what the hardest
thing to do on stage is. Most are expecting me
to say “cry,” so when they hear me say, “be
quiet” their jaws drop.
The Power of Silence
• Because of how uncomfortable silence is,
many people feel the need to fill the void of
silence with needless chatter.
• The rapid, close, unbroken delivery of words
cause ideas to become blurred and to recede
into common noise.
The Power of Silence
Let yourself be affected!
The Power of Silence
• This picture is priceless! Kevin’s facial
expression reveals more about what he was
feeling in that moment than any four-letter
word or guttural sound he could have let out.

Module 21: The Power of Silence

  • 1. The Power of Silence
  • 2. The Power of Silence • Why silence? –There is no such thing as nothing – there is always something. –Silence has a myriad of meanings. In theater, silence is an absence of words, but never an absence of meaning.
  • 3. The Power of Silence – A word can be emphasized and a thought underlined by silence. – Silence has a certain energy to it like no other energy source. It has the power to get people to think and to act. It can help slow the mind down.
  • 4. Meisner on Silence • “Silence has a myriad of meanings. In the theater silence is an absence of words, but never an absence of meaning.” • Meisner: “A moment of silence is something, too. Let me prove it to you. Ask me whether I think you have talent.” • Student: “Mr. Meisner, do you think I have talent?” • Meisner’s head cocks away from the student and he maintains complete silence. The class begins to laugh. • Meisner: “That was silent, wasn’t it? My silence was very expressive.”
  • 5.
