Lincoln Center Day 11

Good day, good good day

Adjectives don't really help- "do that darker, Do that sexier" Verbs do help

Shear dedication to the task

Do it wrong, do it badly, do the lie first so you have a gauge of what the truth is and you know what to stay away from

Audience can not connect to technique, they connect to what is human

There is a certain danger in saying how good something was, it shines a spot light on it and induces the thought of producing the same result

Let's do it badly, do a shitty first draft

The experience of theatre is being with the actor, they are the primary creators


The Biggest trigger for laughter is surprise, Surprise of integrity is the noblest laughter of all, the hardest to get. The ability to be true and still be funny, the situation plays itself out in our imagination, the joke is in our head.

The idea you come up with to solve the problem may work, but is it as fun as the fourth least worst option?

Not trusting your talent is like walking a cat.

Where are you going? To the post office? Walk with energy!

Enthusiasm + Fun = Interst. We like it, we desire it.

More Stupid Fun

Hey you guys, looky looky

It's not the thing, it's the relationship to the thing

Do the things you are afraid of ( I am afraid of voice and comedy)

Don't make a mess you don't have time to clean up

And finally.....

I need to start acting again
