I especially like the last line of the first stanza, Tina.
It's a complex bit you're trying to get around----particularly in the last stanza----a bit which I never really "got" when I read about it in books about acting. I do hope you'll nail the meaning (which p'raps only I don't get). It's certainly worth the search and struggle and what you discover on the way.
