Acting Onstage and Off

I started back to school last night. I'm taking an acting class from one of my favorite people in the world. She's so nurturing. Such a brilliant instructor. I love watching her interact with the students. I felt better than I have in a long time.

One of the first homework assignments was to keep an observational acting journal. It's an amazing exercise for me because the goal is to observe your five senses. I generally do this innately. So to take it out of the automatic responses I usually have walking through life is kind of amazing.

I haven't thought about why or how I observe things for a quite a long time.
