An Introduction to One-Thought-One-Action (OTOA)™ 
Performance Technique & Training: 

OTOA is a method for creating a vivid, dynamic, and fully engaged life on stage or screen, through identifying incremental components of thought as individual moments of physical action. Founded in 2004, OTOA is designed to benefit performing artists, directors, and theater makers that focuses on identifying smaller increments of thought as smaller moments of physical action. OTOA grew out of a necessity I was experiencing as a theater director to discover a practice for crafting more detailed and physically dynamic performances with the actors I was working with: a way to more fully activate the text and the story both physically and visually.OTOA offers directors & performers an approach for crafting more visually engaging stage pictures and more nuanced and specific moments on stage, based on the actor's/character's thinking process. OTOA is a rehearsal & performance technique 
OTOA is a technique and not a style, therefore it can be applied to any style of theater
