The Elysium Aesthetic
Happy Monday! Welcome back to Acting Class Daily and Part Three of The Elysium Aesthetic.
We begin each month with a complimentary, week one perspective-shaper. A tone-setter for the tools and practices we’ll be covering over the next three weeks in each of our three areas of lifelong growth: artistry, instrument and craft. Enjoy!
New to the work? These free introductory chapters are where we recommend you start: Kindred Spirits, What Is Good Acting?, Growing Excellence, The Muscles of Preparation.
This Month’s Focus
Part Three: Actor’s Faith
Today’s Class
Actor’s Faith
Today’s Target
Your imagination is the core of your talent as an actor.
We all have imaginations … audience members, fellow actors, we all do.
But the ability to surrender, to accept the truth of it, to believe it so darn obviously that it feels undeniable … that is your professional separator.
What happens when there are no breaks in your imagination?
Where will you take audiences when you can step onto any stage, working with any actor, in any imaginative world, with any direction given to you … and believe so fully that you get to truly live?
Today we lay the groundwork for imaginative celebration … knowing, growing, accessing and applying the professional separator of your acting talent, your Actor’s Faith.
