In the first day of my Acting II class, my teacher spoke of the idea that your body and mind are your instrument. As cliché and obvious as that acting-101 concept sounded, he ended up weaving his words in such a meaningful way that it made me feel like I'd never heard that idea before. He bluntly asked the class why weren't we taking care of our selves, and warned from what sounded like experience, that if not taken care of deterioration will sneak up on you much faster than you thought possible.
So! Good job choosing focus. It's always inspiring when my friends make the conscious effort to hold that road. Your post made me smile.
And speaking of the body - holy fuck. Ballet is so much harder than it looks. For me at least, that is. I hurt in places I never knew I had.
Lastly, Linda Thorp said she "felt blessed to have worked with you." :)
I did! I finally got to sing the long awaited "happy birthday." It wasn't nearly as painful as I anticipated, though it was still a bit rough. I'm comfortable with what I know of my singing voice so far, but I struggle to hold onto or find the notes due to my complete lack of experience.
Since the class just started and has a crap load of people enrolled, I've had zero one-on-one time so far. I don't expect to have any good stories for you until the private lessons are well underway, which start with her sometime in the next week or two.
I've got a couple possible songs picked out for that class, but if one suddenly comes to mind that you could picture me singing, let me know!
