I am the Drama Queen

Those who know me well know that I have a pretty skewed image of myself. Today, in the last day of my acting intensive, I realized how much that skewed image is damaging to the work I want to do as an actor. It makes me want to hide on stage and you simply cannot do that.

My assignment over the next couple of months is to improve my self image. It's going to be tough, but really I have no more time to waste. I know what the problem is, it's now time to fix it.

I've also got a hefty reading list to tackle over the summer. We've been told to look into the teachings of Stanislavsky, Meisner, Adler, ect; read plays by Shakespeare, Chekov, Pinter, Wilde, Williams, Miller, Shanley... basically any play we can get our hands on; go to galleries and museums, get inspired by art; go see movies and theatre

Speaking of theatre, I finally have some time to go see Fringe shows!

And don't forget, my show is on for another 3 days (4 if we get the venue favorite)

I'm sad that the class is done, but I am left with a new outlook on life, one that I am determined to stick with. I am ready to let go of all the unecessary drama in my life. It's just a waste of energy. I am ready to find the truth in my work and in my life. It's not going to be easy, but in the words of the immortal Coldplay: "Nobody said it was easy."

Look out world, here I come.
