firsts

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.

More later.

This is a comment. On your blog. I hope you are having a good week. I like the green. Hmmmm...what else to say?
I don't know what the right answer to Janet's question would be. I wonder what her answer is?
I think my answer is that without theatre I don't know who I am. I would go crazy if I couldn't do it in some way. Rebecca St. James does a song called "Me Without You" which is actually about God but I think the message can hold true for something that you really can't live without doing..."Me without you- it ain't never gonna feel right/ Me without you- a pitiful sight."
Ahh, what a good song. I love it.
