Happy Monday! Welcome back to Acting Class Daily and Part Four 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 Four: I Can Do Anything
Today’s Class
I Can Do Anything
Today’s Target
I can do anything.
It’s worth taking in how powerful the those words are for an actor.
Not hope (it’s a good script). Not guess (if you’re right for the role). Not wait (for direction).
When you have the capability, the know-how, the set-up, the ever-increasing ability to succeed at anything … it becomes an extra-ordinary ability.
A super-power.
An actor who can do anything can be right for any role, can work from any script, can flourish off any collaborative request, can succeed in any environment - no matter what life throws your way.
And, most importantly, love every aspect of the experience.
Today we’re turning words into action ... turning “I Can Do Anything” into the undeniable belief and unshakeable foundation of the fearless forward.
