​In theory it sounds great to be alive, spontaneous, unpredictable, and not in your head. In practice, it's a completely different animal. I use the word "animal" purposefully because to be an actor of this caliber, you must access and trust your animal instincts.

 

WHY IS THAT?

Because whether you realize it or not, you've been domesticated from a very early age. This unfortunate CONditioning has been reinforced at home, in school, at work, and through the behavioral codes of society. Most people are CONditioned to be nice, appropriate, "good" boys and girls. But our basic biological animal...THAT WE ARE, has nothing to do with any of that bullshit.

 

Our multifacted animal nature, like all animals, is capable of being affectionate, gentle, loving, generous, funny, and courageous, as well as jealous, envious, angry, sad, fearful, and aggressive. If any part of our animal nature is blocked, we won't be able to bring that aspect into our roles as actors.

My ZEN of NOT Acting Studio is the safe place where ALL that you are is FREE to BE as you work on roles that unleash your instincts and talent, preparing you for a dynamic and successful acting career.
