Janet told me the other day that I must know why I wish to pursue theatre. "Because I love it" is not an answer. I tried for a few minutes to answer, "I watch performances and my entire body aches in want of performing." No, not a good answer. "It is a unique challenge to portray someone else" No. "I can't imagine my life without theatre" Still not good enough. So my question is, what is a good answer? I'm sure she would know. I also am wondering, because I can't seem to figure it out, does that mean that I don't have the will to pursue acting? I realize that there is a block between my dreams and actually moving to New York. That block is experience, I have none.
