Littered on the ground: Several library books on acting. “An Actor Prepares” by Stanislavski, “Audition” by Shurtleff, “Meisner on Acting”, “Freeing the Natural Voice” by Kristin Linklater.

Angel is acting like a director. He’s sitting on a household folding chair. He’s wearing a baseball cap decorated with dinosaurs. He’s speaking into a megaphone he made by rolling up a sheet of paper.
Littered around him: “Kazan on Directing”, “Directing the Actor”, “Rebel Without a Crew”, “The Art of My Neighbor Totoro”.
| Angel: Don’t ignore your physicality! Collapse in despair! Forward-roll in frustration! Use the space!
