Soyez vous meme- Just be yourself !

Yesterday was my fourth class at playhouse west. It seems that the more I go, the more I look forward to go back again. At school, I am like a sponge clinging on to every word Tony Savant says. Mr. Savant told us yesterday that we were not in this school to learn to act if anything Playhouse West is non-acting school; it is a school where you learn to be REAL and not a phony. The only obstacle is your ego! Wow, that’s some heavy stuff! Being real (NOT ACTING) under imaginary circumstances, is the chore of the training at playhouse West. Living the moment to the fullest under imaginary circumstance; LISTENING to your partners are chore to the student’s success. The problem is that many people learn their lines & wait in queue for their turn to show the casting director, audience. Although they are prepared & know their lines, that are faking it, that they are not themselves, they are hipsters, wanna be, not themselves. You have to be you, you, and nobody but you under imaginary circumstances, embrace, become that character & own it; TAKE CHARGE OF IT. What a class! All that being said, I have finally been assigned to an activity, so I am thrilled about it, but I must come-up with something ( a task) fairly complicated that will consume me so much that it cause me to ignore my partner ( whoever will be called on stage with me next week). Since I have nobody to rehearse with, I have to do some work, and find myself somebody to rehearse with!!
