Synopsis

"I want you to understand the words. I want you to taste the words. I want you to love the words. Because the words are important. But they're only words. You leave them on the paper, and you take the thoughts and put them into your mind, and then you as an actor recreate them, as if the thoughts had suddenly occurred to you."—Daws ButlerNow you can audit a real Daws Butler acting workshop!This is a raw, unedited recording of Daws Butler prot├®g├® Joe Bevilacqua (a.k.a.
