Understanding.

Understanding requires participation.

Practice first and then your brain will catch up with the idea. The idea serves the practice.

When a scene goes well try not to remember what you did, just keep practicing well. Over a period of time you’ll have assimilations. Your new habits.

Long repetition of proper practice develops habit.

Practicing well includes consciousness (the brain working well) and having the experience instead of trying to understand. 

That is key.

Within the word actor is the word act. And it’s in this act of finding out that you learn. 

You can’t understand before you’ve had the experience.
