In the below video, internationally recognized acting coach, movement director, and specialist in the application of the Alexander Technique, Jean-Louis Rodrigue discusses how actors can encompass the physical movement of their character in a film or stage play, including studying the screenplay and writing character backstory.
I'd love to hear from the community, do these techniques ring true to you or are there others that you feel work better?

Incredible share, Ashley Renee Smith! It's helpful for screenwriters to know how successful actors analyze a screenplay. I added this to my Screenwriting Videos list to go back and watch again. Thanks for sharing!

Yes that's what I've been taught to do. Write a backstory based on the information in the script . what are your objectives, how is it this cave to be the most important moments in your life? If there is a certain physicality to your character. I do everything from childhood to my favorite color to my relationships with the people in the script.
