Rehearsal, Method, and an Accident (OTT) |

Even after getting some help from my teacher, I'm still having little trouble crying when I need to. I just don't know what to do... I don't want to have to fake. I don't know what's wrong (sorry, this entry is already kind of depressing...)
I was so shocked when I looked at my calendar and saw that we only have FIVE rehearsals left (three of which are tech)- and we've only have twelve so far! I wish Equity did their points by hours instead of weeks, because our normal weekday rehearsal is three and a half hours and our weekend rehearsals are six hours. I' be in Equity much sooner if that were the case!

It's an unfortunately reality of theatre - we don't always get the roles we want. Learning to cope with disappointment is not only a reality of the business, it is also essential to maintaining a healthy self-image, and can even impact your reputation.
Here are a few key things to remember: *Warning - tough love to follow!*

Sometimes You Can't Do It Alone (OTT) |
|
Written by Rachel Diamond

I have never had a bad acting teacher. I mean, to date, I've only really had four, but they've all been excellent. When I try to think of something I don't like about them, I only come up with stuff that was beneficial to me in the long run (mostly pushing me to places I emotionally did not want to go.) One of the four is the one I have now, and I must say that she is totally awesome.
For two of my classes, Method Acting and Power of Play, we have to write these weekly audits, documenting our growth for that week and what we expect in the next one. At the end of the questions, there is one that says, "Are you having any problems with your work? Is there any way I can help?" Gennerally, I leave this blank or just write, "No, I'm good, thanks." But for my Method one last week, I decided I was going to ask and see if I recieved. I basically vented about my inability to cry and how I've always been able to before. I ended with, "I don't even know what I was asking, but I figured I'd just use this space and see if you had an answer." And I got one... well, sort of. She asked if I was game to meet up the following week so she could try to help me. We tried to meet on Tuesday, but my schedule suddenly went nuts, so we scheduled a time for Thursday.
