It felt really good to get up on my feet and DO MY THANG. My multi-disciplinary self loves being visionary and having her finger in many pots. And of course, everybody loves to rag on actors. I get really tired of that crap. YES - some of the stereotypes are true: egomaniacal limelight seekers who must ALWAYS call attention to themselves and all of their non-theatrical drama. But honestly, those are the posers. Then there are the rest of us, those who've quietly been committed to The Craft for years, doing our work, pursuing truth, discipline and simplicity, channeling voices from the collective and reflecting them back to the universe.
The voices of the Box spoke to me; the voices of Pandora & the gods spoke to me, and my own voice spoke, connecting the two, connecting me to the universe.
Yes. It was a good rehearsal, and definitely reminded me that I am and always will be, first and foremost, an actor.
