All in the Doing
Dunkirk NY – It’s all in the doing. It’s not in the talking. The most terrible trap in teaching is that so often it becomes more talking than doing.
I gave two lectures today. One was in the general education course I am teaching at 8AM in the morning. Here I must somehow infuse my passion for theatre to a collection of kids who, for one reason or another, are required to be there. Another was in Shakespeare acting class, where I finished the class with too much talking and not enough doing. My talking seems to come from a place of frustration sometimes, and that frustration is the inability to act rather than talk.
I don’t really want to talk anymore about acting: I just want to act, and I just want to see acting. -twl
