The Actors limit is something passes down by word of mouth and interpretations of Antonin Artuad acting methods.

In the lesson we explored this 'theatre of cruelty' and worked on it. we did strenuous physical activities which then tapped into our emotions at the end of the lesson i was completely exhausted and felt both mentally and physically challenged. you could work your hardest but still there was something else beyond that that you could attempt to reach.

There was such a contradiction and juxtaposing of the different tasks we had to complete in the lesson, one was that we had to walk around the space pretending we were on a grid trying to get to something as the end we had a goal, and i struggled most with this because i found it almost impossible to imagine something at the end of the end of the grid there was a goal i knew i would never achieve. But for half an hour of the lesson Sarah played drum and bass music and said 'move when your body feels like moving' and this for me was incredible no goal no task just feeling the music and moving your body this is something that i enjoyed so much and felt connected to the room was black and our eyes where closed we were free to feel what we wanted and that worked best for me and made me connected to my body and mind. Before in theatre i felt that i had not totally physically challenged my self and i made the observation that when i was physically challenged i was more able to tap into my human emotions.
