Today I am grateful for:
-VO work with Augsburg. I was super cranky this morning when I had to wake up. I honestly really haven't felt rested all week. However, once I got into the VO booth, I just had this wave of gratitude wash over me. My chest felt less tight and I was able to take a deep breath of relief. I was no longer cranky after that.
-a surprisingly tasty lunch.
-a semi productive rehearsal
-acting. We had our weekly meeting today and we just did some two person scenes where the object was just connecting with your partner. It was great to hear that Caleb's philosophy for improv which is that, at it's core, is acting. And for me that's exactly how I feel as well. And today I really felt like I got to act. And if felt phenomenal. I felt like I came alive! Haha it kind of feels cheesy to write that, but it's the honest to goodness truth. I was able to really connect with a scene partner emotionally and that is one of the reasons I really love acting. To find the emotional truth in a scene. The suggestion we got was building a fire and someone in the scene is worried because they lost their job. That was it. So simple. And we talked about how in life people shy away from those feelings of truth because its uncomfortable. It's vulnerable. And as comedians, we discussed that the reason we do what we do is because we mask our true emotions and the things that have (for lack of a better term) fucked us up with humor. I don't really know if I have a point I'm trying to make or not, but what I really just want to say is that I love acting, I'm grateful for acting, and I want to continue acting for as long as I live.
-my body releasing unwanted energy by shaking. It's embarrassing, but I know it's healthy and necessary
-taking a quick nap during break.
-being able to make fun of myself for going up on one of my lines. That never happens to me and I'm grateful I'm in a place that didn't destroy me with shame for effing up like that.
-laughter
-having an evening at home by myself and catching up on some tv.
-the basics
-being horizontal right now
-trust
-connection
-as always, my friends.
