AN ACTOR’S THOUGHTS

Featured

Posted on by

I love being an actor. Acting is my craft, my passion and my job.

I enjoy earning my living as an actor, but acting is not my life.

I love to engage and entertain an audience, but I don’t like curtain calls.

I care more about kindness, creativity and collaboration, than I do about critical acclaim.

I don’t want fame, but I’d like to be remembered kindly by family, friends and colleagues.

I don’t need any prizes, I just want another part, (and, maybe next time, a bigger paycheque).

Don’t Call Me An Artist

by John B. Lowe

If you think I’m unique, or maybe even special,

don’t call me an artist, call me a stranger.

If you think I think I’m unique, or maybe even special,

don’t call me an artist, call me an arrogant fool.

If I create something interesting or beautiful,

call me a craftsman.

If I engage and enchant an audience,

call me a actor, or a storyteller.

If I amuse you, and you enjoy what I do,

call me an entertainer.

If I only reflect what I see in front of me,

don’t call me an artist, call me a mirror.

If I set my self apart,

to observe the world from a distance,

don’t call me an artist, call me alone.

If I help you understand the world,

or your place in the world, or yourself,

call me a teacher.

If you think I can change the world,

call me an activist, call me revolutionary.

If I help you feel understood,

and cared for, and not alone,

call me friend.

If you see my flaws, and my frailties,

and my many mistakes,

but still find something in me to love,

call me family.

If I make you laugh, call me funny.

If I make you cry, call me cruel.

If I make you angry, call me out.

Call me intelligent. Call me irreverent.

Call me good. Call me kind.

Don’t call me an artist.

But…

if by artist you mean human,

both simple, and complicated,

like you, and me, and all of us are,

well then, I suppose, you may call me that.

Though, I’d prefer you to call me by name.

Extra class for ACTRA & CAEA

Dear ACTRA and EQUITY colleagues,

We’re adding an extra ACTING ON CAMERA class for union members (ACTRA & CAEA) on Tuesday afternoons

We’re also limiting enrolment to 6 actors only per class per UNION session so actors get more on camera time in each class.

There are now 2 afternoon classes for Union members on Monday and Tuesday.

Winter Session 2 starts on February 25th, 2019
