Primary and Secondary Emotions: Movement for Actors with Sara Fay
Primary and Secondary Emotions https://www.maggieflaniganstudio.com/movement-class/primary-and-secondary-emotions/ Primary and Secondary Emotions - Movement for Actors with Sara Fay at Maggie Flanigan Studio Sara Fay is an acting teacher at the Maggie Flanigan Studio who teaches movement for actors. In this video, Sara explains the difference between the primary and the secondary emotion. Primary emotions are our first automatic response to an event. Perhaps someone said something hurtful to us and the first response you feel this really in your body. Maybe you're angry, maybe you want to cry, but it's a primal, visceral experience in your body. Now secondary emotions are the way that we're conditioned to feel about our feelings they're feeling about that primary emotion. Maybe when you were a child, a caretaker said, "Don't cry, toughen up," or perhaps you were ashamed for expressing joy at a certain point in your life. This programming, this conditioning begins to make us block that primary emotion with the secondary emotion. Instead of experiencing the raw, primal fear, anger, sadness, we get stuck in the secondary feeling that is the judgment about that primary emotion. As actors, as artists, this is important to be aware of because if we are living in that secondary emotion as opposed to that primary emotion, we're not living in our authenticity. Energy is blocked in our body; we're tight, we're really like a shadow of ourselves. You're not your authentic full being in the room. Whether you are in an audition room, whether you're rehearsing that's what you've got to bring to your work. People want to work with actors that are alive, that are embodied and that are present in the moment. That's why it's so important as actors and as artists that we become aware of the difference between the primary and the secondary emotion.
