Actors, this is not a path that you need to trod alone.

Even though there is part of it where you are alone, even though you’re together.

And that’s the part where you get to step into your own self discovery, self realisation, daily in your life, in the work you mine in relationship to story.

You Are Poetry in Motion

The path of the actor is both individual and collective.

When you find the balance between those two, you have the ability to have your own creative fingerprint within your creative process while playing and being in relationship with other creatives.

Actors, the portal to the here and now is through the body.

So that means if it’s through the body to get to the here and now, you’re either moving in through your senses - what you hear, see touch, taste or you are listening to the felt experience - sensation, emotion.

What’s quite extraordinary about how brilliantly “Succession” is written (Jesse Armstrong) , because it’s a collective story.

Actors, the here and now can only be accessed through the body.

And the body as we know its language, its dialect, it’s the senses and it’s the felt experience.

So that’s the only way to come into the present moment is through the body.

You can live in your imagination and live in your meaning channel,...
