Marks philosophy passed on during most of his courses, is that "it's not about you!" It's about the other person/ actor/ audience. A relationship/ many relationships are required for performance. The importance of listening and of eye contact is paramount. To know how the other feels, gives you so much information that is needed for acting/ improvising. Other important concepts are those of multi-tasking and losing.
