Exploring Acting and Performance Skills mind maps

These user-made maps organize performance topics around questions, techniques and examples. Character Building starts with questions about who a character is, what they want and what stands in their way. Hagen's technique; six steps also uses questions to explore a performer or character's circumstances.

Choose a route through the maps

Start with Character Building if you want a set of prompts for thinking about a role. For a broader view of an approach, try Practical Aesthetics; three main categories, which groups ideas under philosophy, script analysis and performance technique. Compare the maps by following their branches and noting the questions or categories each uses.

To connect ideas to a particular scene, look at Ted Hits Albert, which includes physical and vocal skills. After studying a map, switch to a quiz on the unit page if you want to check your understanding, or use flashcards to review terms. Choose a map and follow one branch at a time.
