TABLE OF CONTENTS 10 EMOTIONOLOGY IS A GIANT KEY TO THE FUTURE, OR PRESENT AS IT IS FOR MANY ALREADY, THE FUTURE OF ACTING AND DIRECTING. THE COVER OF THE THESAURUS OF EMOTIONS GRAPHIC REPRESENTS THE EMOTIONAL CLARITY THAT COMES FROM IT’S APPLICATION. THE BLURRY FIGURE IN THE BACK REPRESENTS THE OLD SCHOOL APPROACH OF TRYING TO STUFF THE CHARACTER ‘S EMOTIONS INSIDE THOSE OF THE ACTOR. IT IS THE EMOTIONAL CONFUSION THAT ARISES WHEN TWO PEOPLE, CHARACTERAND ACTOR TRY TO INHABIT THE SAME EMOTION AT THE SAME TIME IN THE SAME BODY. TEMO MAN, WITH EMOTIONOLOGY TO HELP HIM BREAKS OUT OF THAT MOLD AND ACHIEVES A BRILLENT EMOTIONAL CLARITY.

TABLE OF CONTENTS 11 WE ALL KNOW WHAT THIS KID IS GOING THROUGH, BECAUSE WITH VERY FEW EXCEPTIONS, WE ALL WENT THROUGH IT, AND MOST STILL ARE. IT’S TIME TO GET BACK TO OUR EMOTIONAL SELVES. CHECK OUT THE INTENSE STUDY OF EMOTIONS BEING DONE ALL OVER THE WORLD. EDUCATIONAL AND THE PRIVATE SECTOR ARE SPENDING BILLIONS IN RESEARCH ON THE EMOTIONS. THIS IS THE NEWEST AND HOTTEST AREA OF EDUCATIONAL AND BRAIN SCIENCE RESEARCH IN MANY DECADES. EMOTIONOLOGY PUTS THE ACTOR AT THE FOREFRONT OF THAT WORK. GOOD THING TOO, BECAUSE THEY (EMOTIONS} ARE THE BREAD AND BUTTER OF OUR WORK. THEY ARE WHAT WE HAVE TO TAKE TO THE TABLE EVERY DAY WE WORK. EMOTIONOLOGY IS THE FIRST ATTEMPT, AS WEIRD AS IT MAY SEEM, TO GET ACTORS TO UNDERSTAND THEM BETTER.

TABLE OF CONTENTS 1 THE DICTIONARY OF EMOTIONS, WITH ALMOST 900 OF THEM DEFINED, IS A CORE ELEMENT IN THE BOOK. THE CHARTS THAT MAKE UP THE THESAURUS OF THE EMOTIONS, DEPEND ON IT. THE CHARTS ARE WHAT PUT THE "WORK" IN WORK BOOK. THIS IS THE ACTOR'S HOMEWORK. THE IMENSE BENEFITS OF THESE STUDIES SHOW UP , IN VARING DEGREE'S, IMMEDIATELY IN THE WORK OF ANY ACTOR WHO DOES THIS WORK. THAT POSITIVE REENFORCEMENT IS THE STIMULUS TO KEEP THEM DOING THEIR HOMEWORK.

TABLE OF CONTENTS 13 THE CHARTS ARE A POWERFUL TOOL IN WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO WITH THE ACTORS AWARENESS OF EMOTIONS. IT IS DEFINED ALL THROUGHOUT THE BOOK, BUT THE GOAL IS TO GET ACTORS TO UNDERSTAND EMOTIONS ON A PURE , UNIVERSAL, ABSTRACT LEVEL. ONCE THEY HAVE THAT PART OF THE PUZZLE, THE CROWNING ACHIEVEMENT IS BEING ABLE TO TAKE THE INTERNAL, ABSTRACT UNIVERSAL ENTITY (AN EMOTION) AND TURN IT INTO AN EXTERNAL, CONCREATE, WHICH BECOMES THE TOOL THAT ALLOWS THE TRUEST EXPRESSION OF THE CHARACTERS EMOTIONS IN THE HISTORY OF THE CRAFT. I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT THOSE ELEVATED INDIVIDUALS WHO CAN DO THAT BY INSTINCT. THIS SYSTEM WAS NOT CREATED TO FORM AN ACTING ELITE, IT IS IN FACT, THE MOST DOMOCRATIC ACTING SYSTEM IN HISTORY.
