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
