Keep Process-ing
I’m currently working on a show
And in this show
There is an actor
One of the most generous actors I know
Every time this actor gets up on stage
The level of commitment they have in conveying the text in a truthful manor is simply astonishing
Regardless of the writing, audience, cast, director, weather, private life dramas, exhaustion, or time of day
This actor gives everything
Over, and over, and over again.
Last week
I was feeling tired
I decided to go sit out in the theatre and watch the dress run
This actor walks out onto the stage
Honest
Listens
On cues
Drives the scene
Commits to stakes
Simply steals the show
Then
Walks off
And 30 seconds later
To my surprise
I get a text
“How was that first scene? What do I need to work on?”
For one of the most generous actors in the world
It never stops
Process process process
Keep process-ing
Hope this helps
