I CAN ACT
Last nights show of "Greener Grasses" was fun and felt so fast.
I heard we were on for 20-30 minutes but it felt like 2. The cast is wonderful and always brings new stuff to the stage making my role even easier and more enjoyable. Passion and Sabura were pleased and you actors all know how good it feels to please your director and writer! We also had the best audience! I know this show will be in full production SOON. THANK YOU!
After the show I was given praise which often is hard for me to recive and believe.
I know I'm good and come prepared but accepting compliments on my work is still uncomfortable. Which leads me to these thoughts. I ask other actors after their shows "How did YOU feel about it?" And recently I have heard "I rocked it!" or "Im one of the best there is!"etc. etc. Why don't I ever say that? Im always looking at the angle of what will be better next time and will basically say "It was fun". I don't really compliment my own work. I am too in the moment on stage to even remember so I only have my audience to tell me.
I'm an actor so I generally expect an actor to say things that indicate a need for growth. When they sound so confident and satisfied I often interpret this as complacent. Can I be honest? Well I always am right? LOL The actors that claim to be the best around and are always happy with the job they did are not my favorite actors and I can always think of someone I enjoy watching more. TOO CRITICAL? Well I am a Virgo and I place the same expectations onto myself. What's your take?
