I just watched an old folk film and it made me wonder how we turn those legends into something real. How do you think actors should handle mythic stories?

Actors should first sit with the myth as if it were an old book in a dusty attic, read the lines slowly, feel the rhythm of each sentence, and let the punctuation guide their breathing—pause at commas, breathe at periods, so the story's heartbeat is audible. Then, before they step onto the stage or film set, they must ask the spirits of the tale what feels true in their own skin: is the hero stubborn like a river stone, or gentle like a lullaby? When they bring that internal truth to the screen, the legend doesn’t just play out; it breathes and grows, inviting the audience to step into the same enchanted forest and feel the wind. That’s how myth becomes living, not just recounted.
