1. Patsy Rodenburg defines Presence as the moments when a persons energy fully connects them to the world and them fully receiving energy back from that connection.
2. One way that Presence is lost is when your scene partner is one who likes to be in control and rejects your presence. Another way Presence is lost is when a person is thinking more about the own personal life rather than what is happening in the moment. I personally feel a loss of Presence when someone stumbles over a line on stage and we must "go with the flow"
3. The first Circle is the circle of self and withdrawal. A time where I usually find myself in third circle is when im having a lot of personal issues im dealing with and I tend to stray away from social activity. Another time where i find myself in first circle is when im around people I do not Know.
4. Third circle is the circle of bluff and force. A time when i have experienced myself in third circle was when I was the host of "Open Mic Night". I had to be overly vivacious and loquacious to keep the audience intrigued at all times; especially during act changes.
5. Second circle is the circle of the Energy of connecting. One personal experience when I have been in second circle was when I played basketball and the team would come together as one and play with chemistry. It was like a chain reaction, one person would send positive energy to another player and it would continue the cycle.
