New in treatment class at Actor's Connection

I have to learn to be okay with everybody not understanding everything instantly. That is the natural process of learning. People " get it" at different times. It is a process and not a destination. The not knowing part of the process can be uncomfortable for people and me because I want to be all things to all clients and that is coming from ego and that blocks creativity. So physician heal thyself.

Best year yet

I had the happiest birthday I have every had.  Well in recent memory at least.  

 

Just feel so loved.  Got to visit with my parents ( oh and I count the whole wonderful month of July as my birthday), go on a trip to see a dear friend, swim in a creek, eat pancakes, have a party with more dear friends back at home and LEARN so much about what I thought I already knew with the great Caryn West.  

 

Tomorrow I will interview her for the podcast. I will expose her to many more actors.  She is a wonderful actress and acting coach with very high standards.  I am all over her.  I will be incorporating some of what I learned into my new advanced In Treatment Class at Actor's Connection.

 

Can't Wait. 

Too sad about the passing of Israel Hicks

This is the only photo I can find of  us together. Sadly.

He really inspired my work and my life.

Israel Hicks was born in Orangeburg, S.C, and was raised in Brooklyn, New York. He graduated from Boston University, earned his master’s at New York University and obtained his law degree from Harvard. He also played professional football for the New England Patriots and ran his own restaurant.

That crazy path to being one of the greatest director of theatre whoever lived. I want to be like him. I want to try many things and use them all to inform my work.

Mr. Hicks’s first marriage ended with the death of his wife, Catherine. They had a daughter, Victoria, who was permanently injured in a 1993 automobile crash and remained in a persistent vegetative state until she died several years later. He is survived by his wife, whom he met in 2001.

His life was special to me because he indured such loss and continued to make art. Such pain with knee replacements, he carried on. I want that strength. And he loved my son and husband. He supported our dreams. He helped us by sharing his experineces with us.

I will miss him so much. Heaven is just crowded. Crowded. They got enough folks up there to make some awesome plays.

Untitled new short film project to direct, And it's my mom's bday.

I am just reporting that at the end of August I maybe directing a very good short film.  I am hoping it will come through.

Also I am so glad my mom was born. I realize now how iconic moms are in their child's like now and what a responsibility that is.  It can feel like a burden.  I am so glad my mom stuck with us, me in particular.
