This Month’s Focus
Part Three: Actor’s Faith
Today’s Class
Nurture Transformation
Today’s Target
Character is built through nature. Through our instincts. Through the things in our DNA, infused in our soul, in our humanity, from when we are born.
Character is also built through nurture.
Through the experiences we have in life.
Experiences shape character.
If we’re going to really believe (and stay away from pretending) ...
If we’re going to be the thing (instead of the idea of the thing) …
We need the experiences of our character to know what our character knows.
This week our Olympic Spirit and Actor’s Faith welcome a new teammate to our Transformation Toolbox.
A powerful new tool for your craft that gifts you with the experiences that shaped your character … and turns every character unknown into deep, textured transformation.
