I intend to demonstrate the effectiveness and profundity in developing conscious technique whereby life experiences are employed to support and activate the life of the character. Using the methods of substitution and emotional memory, professed by Uta Hagen, I examine the success when activating technique in balanced conjunction with personal experiences as a means to cultivate contextual spontaneity.
