Strasberg would have us delve into the self, nurture it, develop it in all its strangeness, and then figure out how to use it. Adler taught us to enlarge our soul to fit the job ahead through imagination and rigorous research, worldliness and art. Meisner instructed us to be radically present, to truly listen and respond, to give of ourselves to our partners, and to stop trying to control every outcome.
