00:00You

00:09Breathe

00:16And again

00:23And when did the pain start

00:25A few days ago, it hurts when I lie down

00:30And what about bowel movements? Any problems there?

00:34I haven't really had much bowel movements

00:37I had one the other day and it hurt my stomach a little bit when it passed through

00:45Recent sexual partners?

00:48No

00:50I'm single

00:52I'm sorry we can turn that light off

00:55It's hurting my eyes

00:57Um

00:58I'm sorry

01:03Oh

01:06I need to go to the bathroom

01:09Mr. Smith, we should be able to release you today

01:12But after we get your fluids up

01:14You have viral gastroenteritis

01:16A common but severe stomach flu

01:18The nurse will be in momentarily to start an IV trip

01:21He called it

01:22Everybody stop

01:24Jonathan

01:26Stomach flu

01:27Really?

01:28Where'd you get that idea?

01:30Abdominal pain, diarrhea, loss of appetite, Dr. Friedman

01:33Yes, those were all the key details

01:35A brilliant performance by Paul here

01:37Bravo, Paul

01:38At least someone's been doing their homework

01:41Did we not have gastroenteritis last week?

01:44Yes

01:45Yes

01:46And did that look anything like today's brilliant rendition?

01:50Yeah

01:54When laying hands on the patient, we need to read the body

01:58Treat it like a book, interpret what it tells us

02:02Anyone care to venture a guess as to what ails are Mr. Smith?

02:05Apendicitis, sir

02:07Obviously

02:08But, uh, the wheezing

02:11Care to explain, Paul?

02:13Well, it's allergy season

02:14So I decided to weave in a little bit of congestion

02:16It is

02:18You dog

02:20Bravo, Paul

02:22Bravo, Paul

02:23You really had my abdomen aching

02:27Thanks, Doctor

02:28Why are you still here?

02:32Now

02:33When performing intestinal ischemia

02:35You really got to own it with the vomiting

02:38I mean

02:39Really give it to her

02:41Like that hernia last semester

02:46You got it

02:47Now, Melissa, you're up

02:49This should only hurt a little

02:52You'll all be sitting for exams next week

03:13Pay particular attention to

03:16Hint

03:17Chapter 13 and 14 in Harrison

03:20Really spectacular today

03:26Thank you

03:27Your check

03:28And, uh, I highlighted the relevant passages

03:31You should prepare for next week

03:33Real colorful one in there, too

03:35Systemic lupus arithematosus

03:38An autoimmune disease rare for men but possible

03:42I want you to jazz it up a bit with a lung hemorrhage

03:46Lung hemorrhage

03:47Lung hemorrhage

03:48Sounds intriguing

03:49Yeah

03:50What is it you call it?

03:53The what?

03:55Your acting thing

03:57Oh, you mean the Meissner technique

03:59Yeah

04:00Brilliant

04:02Brilliant

04:03Bye

04:04Bye

04:05You have two new messages

04:21Hey Paul, it's Marty

04:23It's Marty

04:24Look, sorry for the bad news

04:25But the producers didn't think you were right for the role

04:29I know

04:30Something about you being too, uh, contemporary

04:33Oh, Christ

04:35What the hell do they know, right?

04:37Look, we'll pull you up for something else real soon

04:39I'll call you next week

04:40Hi Paul, just checking in

04:44I bet you're in our audition

04:46Oh, that's so exciting

04:47Yeah

04:48Why can't you get a spacecraft bill?

04:49Oh, enough already

04:50Let it go, please

04:52To delete this message, press 7

04:54To save this message, press 9

04:56Press 9

05:18I am in this room

05:22You are in this room

05:26I don't see you

05:29You don't see me

05:32I am struggling to see you

05:38I am struggling to see you

05:41No, that was...

05:42Where are your thoughts?

05:44I'm sorry, Mara

05:45Let's just try it again

05:46My thoughts are in the street

05:47No, no, no, no, don't use my name

05:48You don't know my name

05:49Right

05:50I don't know your name

05:51I'm sorry

05:52Let's try it again

05:53I just...

05:54Here we go

05:55What do you want?

05:57What do you want?

05:58What do you...

05:59What do you want?

06:00Oh, your...

06:02What do I want?

06:03I wanna...

06:05You know, I wanna be great

06:07I wanna be great

06:10Paul

06:12You have to live in the soul of your character

06:14Not just wear it, be it

06:18You have to perform

06:20I do, I do perform

06:21For a real audience

06:23You're wasting your money

06:28You're wasting your money

06:30It's not about the money

06:31Well then...

06:33You're wasting my time

06:35You're not right for this

06:38Try something other than theater

06:40A film

06:42I...

06:43Better get television

06:44It makes no difference if it's on a stage, in front of a camera, in an arena

07:03The Meissner technique stems from a very organic approach

07:08The simple exercises will allow you access to the body of your character

07:12So that you can step inside the shoes of another human being

07:15How have you noticed

07:16How are you that being...

07:17What do you want?

07:18How do you think about it?

07:20What do you think about it?

07:21I will show you cute

07:22Moo continuic

07:23Ingefil

07:24I am having a fun

07:25Here I will give you a BB

07:26How to sex

07:29Make everything

07:31and relax

07:32Want some laughing

07:33So

07:36That meal

08:38Paul.

08:40Dude, are you okay?

08:57What?

08:58Yeah, I'm fine.

08:59You sound like shit.

09:00No, I'm fine.

09:01I was just doing an exercise.

09:03Oh.

09:04Yeah.

09:05That's awesome, dude.

09:08Look, we are going to be hanging out for a little while.

09:13Cool.

09:14Cool.

09:15Yeah, I was going to go for a walk anyway, so get some fresh air.

09:22Nice meeting you.

09:24He's an actor.

09:25He's an actor.

09:26Oh.

09:27It's so cool.

09:28I'm so good.

09:29I'm so good.

09:30I'm so good.

09:31You're all good.

09:32You're all good.

09:33You're right.

09:34I'm so good.

09:35I'll see you next time.

10:05I don't know.

10:35Eugenio Chavez?

10:52Eugenio.

10:53That's me.

10:57When we're through seeing people for the bodega man role, we'll move on to anyone here for

11:01the teenage son.

11:05I told you you were young 30.

11:17Right.

11:20Mm-hmm.

11:21Yeah.

11:22No, that makes sense.

11:27Yeah.

11:29Well, maybe I can go in for another role.

11:31You know, maybe the vice principal role.

11:34Right.

11:36No, I know.

11:37Yeah.

11:37We're a team.

11:39Yeah.

11:40Okay.

11:49Chapter 4, character as a glove.

11:52As an actor, you are processing the experience of your character in that moment.

12:00The character's pain is your pain.

12:05Bleed with it.

12:06When the character is hurt, you're hurt.

12:09Ultimately, the character should fit like a well-made glove that was molded for your hand.

12:17These are plants that are very hardy, tolerant, and they'll survive under Gerard Lordal, L-O-R-D-A-H-L,

12:25directed for open space screening at GrowNYC.

12:29And we will continue our conversation.

12:32Take your calls at 212-433-9692 or answer your questions if you write to us on our show page at WNYC.org

12:40or on Facebook or Twitter, where our handle is at Leonard Lopate.

12:49Later on in the show, we'll look at what anthropologists have learned by studying the contemporary paleo diets

12:54of various isolated cultures.

12:56Plus, Laird de Vecinae talks about directing Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale at the public theater.

13:05Take a deep breath, please, Mr. Smith.

13:11Any fevers, chills?

13:14Any weight changes?

13:16I get hot flashes.

13:20So I get really hot, and then I start sweating.

13:23And then I get cold again.

13:24What's happened?

13:29Can you describe the symptoms to me?

13:33I feel pain in my throat.

13:37I have a headache.

13:40And then also my stomach.

13:42My stomach hurts.

13:46Any pain in this room?

13:48Mm-mm.

13:51Good.

13:52Fixed.

13:54How long have you had this rash, Mr. Smith?

14:00Two or three days.

14:06Does it hurt?

14:07Do you feel any pain on the rash?

14:09Yeah, what does it feel like?

14:12I don't know when you touch it.

14:13Mm-hmm.

14:14Do you have any medical conditions in your family?

14:18Any weight changes?

14:21Any fevers or chills?

14:25Any weight changes?

14:28And how long have you had this cough again, Mr. Smith?

14:32Good.

14:33You're up.

14:35Those are the neuroscience and your wife.

14:37The

14:45day, I am the only one who lives in the dark side.

14:47And now,

14:54and then I'm still dying,

14:56you are upstairs in the basement.

15:01Per si come se, per si come se tu.

15:15I believe you need a rose

15:20You need a rose in my soul

15:25Beautiful

15:35It was beautiful

15:38Lights, please

15:44Just file your diagnostic report in my office, and good luck with the rest of your exams.

16:04Just masterful.

16:07I hope our students fully appreciate the quality of education they receive.

16:14Such aspiring talent walks through those doors, but few with such craft.

16:22Thanks.

16:23I have big plans for you next semester.

16:27We make a good team, you and I.

16:30Please, do tell me about any other performances you have coming up.

16:42Au revoir.

17:00It only hurts for a little while.

17:03It only hurts for a little while.

17:08It only hurts for a little while.

17:15It only hurts for a little while.

17:30That's what they tell me.

17:34That's what they say.

17:38It only hurts for a little while.

17:45It only hurts for a little while.

17:48That all your heartache will pass away.

17:57It's so easy to be smart with somebody else's heart.

18:06It's so easy to be smart with somebody else's heart.

18:07But I don't know how to start forgetting you.

18:12What can I do?

18:14It only hurts for a little while.

18:22That's what they tell me.

18:26Just wait and see.

18:31But I will hurt

18:34Till you come back

18:38To me.

18:52To me

19:06To me

19:08To me

19:10to realize

19:12The words

19:15To me
