Acting Your Dreams: Using Acting Techniques To Interpret Your Dreams - Plot & Excerpts
in a screenplay is very significant. From the beginning of the story to the end of the story there is a goal that drives the plot. To put in the terms of the great Stanislavski, the main character in a story will have to deal with a variety of obstacles and setbacks to reach that goal. This is the “Through Line of Action.” This goal involves the story and the characters in it. In Monty Python’s “Search for the Holy Grail,” the Through Line of Action is very simple: King Arthur and his knights must find the Holy Grail. Everything that the knights do to find the grail, whether it be face the rabbit, defeat the knights of Ni, rescue Galahad from the Castle Anthrax or cross the bridge over the River Death, all hang on one line. The Through Line of Action is to find the Holy Grail. In my dream the Through Line of Action doesn’t seem to be very clear. There is a lot of chasing and spying with no obvious direction to the dream. In this instance, the way for me to establish a Through Line of Action in this story might be to pretend I’m recommending the movie to a good friend.
