respect our individual talents and levels. No one else will.
I find myself around some folks that are all about dropping names. They have worked with this person and that person and they have done this play and that play. And they have read this play and that play. And then they turn and criticize others on their work on stage. Without finding out what background that other person may have. I feel that no matter what. There has to be a mutual respect for all actors within actors. If we don't respect our individual talents and levels. No one else will.
I find myself guilty of doing this and to my defense only after hearing comment after comment on my character. I too have a boiling point. I am upset with myself that I even fell into this trap. I am not like anybody else I am unique. I am different than you and you are different than me. That is what makes us all special. But I do have to stay away from people that are this way. I don't want to be a part of it. So what does this make me now, weird, hard to work with.
I have found myself waiting a long time for the cast to arrive, each one arriving one after the other.
And I of course than issimilate this behavior. I catch myself and put myself on track. I have to remind myself that over and over I have to be there on time. And even if I get labeled, I must rehearse. People don't let me finish my lines before they are spitting them at me. I am so frustrated. I need to think my lines through. I am the character I need to know why I am doing what I am doing.
I have to get myself out of this mind frame. Because I have to perform the way I know how. The way I was taught and the way in which I learned in my experience. I love to do this. This is me.
I tell stories, I am a storyteller. I am a catalyst for art. I am your movement. I am the story.
One thing this has done is ignite my fire. Thank you very much for that. I know I am the best on what I do for sure now. For sure.
Thank you Baby Jesus.
