Build trust in your own creative impulses

Actors, You need to slow down to include the body.

You can go quite fast if you keep “thinking” and “imagining”, and then you get burnt out because you didn’t bring your body with you.

But you have to slow down to include the body.

I want to watch an actor who’s experiencing something, and I will be moved because the mirror neurons in my body will be set off by the mirror neurons that are being activated in their body.

And that takes time because we’ve built quite a sophisticated system of fight / flight / freeze / please in order to protect ourselves in the world.

That’s a completely brilliant survival mechanism, however, we have to become highly skilled over the years to develop a system where, oh, I don’t need to go into Fight / Flight.
Freeze / Please.

I can be in the unknown and stay curious and kind of stay receptive to what’s happening, even if the environment feels intense or even unsafe, because remember, we are here to risk.

This is why we want to build trust in your own creative impulses and no matter where you are in the environment that you’re in.
