Stop end-gaming your creative process

Actors, stop end-gaming your creative process!

A self take class is not going to teach you about acting. It will teach you how to self-tape.

Playwrights, script writers are going to teach you about acting.

Going to class is going to teach you about acting.

Reading the whole play, and the whole script is going to teach you about acting.

Not a little side that has absolutely no context to it or if you are only ever going into class and playing a scene, and not actually working on the whole piece.

Stop end-gaming your creative process.

It’s storytelling. We’re telling stories so you have to practice telling stories.

Going home and reading the story, and then coming back and doing the scene… And
Going home and reading the story, and then coming back and doing the scene….And
Going home and reading the story, and then coming back and doing the scene….And…
Falling in love with that process so that each time you go “ I can’t wait to go home and read the story now that I’ve worked it in class and see what happens! “
