This adventure has dusted off so many buried places in my imagination. Working out
muscles I’ve never used before. Seeing
things in new lights and different perspectives. Learning what works for me and
what doesn’t. Learning….about me. Sounds narcissistic. Yeah, I suppose it
is.
But it’s good and fine and
happening.
Improv has awakened a new and
exciting part of me that I never knew existed. My subconscious artist I suppose? It
feels like I’m using the truly creative part of my brain. It’s a good feeling. Intoxicating and a bit like jumping from a
plane. Musical theatre is just plain
exhilarating and uses so many physical skills. Apparently, I can sing. And dance. Simultaneously. Who knew? Straight theatre is a bit of a
mystery and all over the map. There are
deep wells of myself I still have yet to tap into concerning that type of
acting. Acting on-camera is just plain
awkward at this stage of my journey.
But
something keeps me going. I’m not quite
sure what it is but it’s not leaving.
So,
to please this inner beast, I’m going to try stand-up comedy. Probably the scariest thing I can think
of.
Yeah, let’s do that.
