It's been almost three months. There were moments of inspiration. Moments of motivation. But no action. Until now.
I've been preparing for this new beginning for a few months. Here are some of the thoughts.
This episode is a collage of bits and pieces recorded in Florence, Italy.
Chances are slim. That's what is said to almost anyone who wants to "make it" as an actor. Discouraging talented artists. Smothering creative spirits. Maybe that can be changed.
How finding a journal entry from over 20 years ago made me stop second-guessing my artistic voice.
Realizing the freedom of not knowing. PS This was recorded on chocolate. Hope you can keep up.
Maybe you can make a life leap without the support of friends, but you won't survive that leap without the support of friends.
After leaving a career where I was so comfortable, I had a moment of not knowing who I was anymore. That feeling recurs every once in a while. Especially when I up the ante in my work and/or training. But with each experience, I bounce back faster, with more confidence. Finding my way.
What we're taught as children vs what we're taught as actors.
Sometimes they go together. Putting it all in perspective.
Taking the best of a yoga practice into an acting career.
As an actor, an artist, how many times have I thwarted my own creativity? Martha Graham offers the words to help me, and hopefully you, find the courage to make art.
After Ashanti Brown and I auditioned with a scene, three months later I was venturing out on my own. My courage was rewarded.
Making a huge life change can sound easy after one has done it, but it is rarely a straight path. This episode goes into a little bit of the trip, over many years, that led to making the leap.
