CAN I LET YOU IN ON A SECRET?

Your life as an artist has already begun.

It’s happening right now.

It’s not going to suddenly begin when you get the agent, the dream casting hits your inbox or even when you book that dream job. 

This. Is. It.

Are you keeping your artistry in reserve for something you have no control over?

Or are you allowing yourself to splash about in the joy of it right now?

Are you bringing all of your gorgeous curiosity, commitment & desire to explore to all of your work? 

Or are you telling yourself, this is only a small part, they only have 10 lines so I’ll only give 10 lines worth of my time, 10 lines worth of my creative joy, my passion?

Do you think that doesn’t show? That it doesn’t dampen your spirit as an artist?

What if you didn’t give the gatekeepers the keys to your creative joy and fulfilment? 

What if you allowed yourself to see each and every casting, every exercise in your acting class, each task set by your coach, every day of your life(!), as a glorious opportunity to breathe life into your work, to deepen your practice, to delve into a new character and to continue to discover yourself as an artist?

What if you saw that casting as a chance to connect with a new person who doesn’t yet know your work? As a beautiful chance to be part of this ancient tradition of being of service to story? 

Do you think that might make a difference to how you feel, perform, connect, and live? 

Just a thought…
