your sense of play.

It’s not something you learned. You were born with it. You lived it for many years. Eventually, you chose to sometimes keep it hidden. Until that sad day when you deserted it altogether. Oh, you dipped into it every now and then on your way to acting school, in agent meetings, and once you launched your career and booked some roles. Unfortunately, though, for the most part, you kept your sense of play at arms length because along came a more pressing need: to be liked.

Wait - aren’t “playful” and “likable” the same thing?

Nope. One comes from the soul, the other from the ego. And as an actor it is your job to keep the ego in check while bearing your soul or I want my money back and I’m cancelling my subscription. You attractive hunk you.

So - are you playing?

That’s where I come in. I’m a working actor who spent my first decade in the ‘biz discovering that when I was playful, I got called back. I booked the most delicious work and had the time of my life on set responding to the direction, “Give me the same thing - only different.” It took time, and it was worth it for me. Because now I get to teach it to others in my own carefully crafted course and see the twinkle come back in the big, beautiful eyes of my students.
