Abstract	:	This project report examines the significance and achievement of connection, or communion, as realized in the role of Sam Byck in Assassins, by Steven Sondheim and John Weidman (book). The musical was produced by California Repertory Company at The Long Beach National Guard Armory, September 27–October 20, 2008. I intend to demonstrate my understanding and use of Stanislavski's concept of grasp, or perpetual communion, through the lens of improvisation training as well as the work of Viola Spolin and Keith Johnstone. My aim is to exemplify a practical process whereby this seemingly arcane, capricious aspect of the actor's craft can be consciously manipulated.
