WEEK 5 - ACTING

9/18/2024

 
(I’m so behind on getting these posted …)
 
I’M SO BAD … at telling students when they are doing great work. I feel like I spend most of my life looking for what’s not working. I need to be better at pointing out what IS working.
SO MUCH REPETITION … can become monotonous – but the same thing could be said for lifting weights. Lift, then lift again the next day, then lift again the next day, then … (continue forever) and you get stronger. I find the repetition fun because each time I’m trying to push harder or do better than the last time that I was in the gym. But how do I get students to feel the same way about acting?
I LOVE THIS … so much. But I love lots of things! I’m certain that I have students who think, “I can’t be as intense about acting as Kyle.” But the problem with that statement is that it’s not just acting. I am intense about lots of things. Students just happen to encounter me while I'm engaged in the “acting” part.
