The love for art and the love for me, me, me.

A phenomena I see is the perpetual love for self in art instead of art for art sake. — Stanislavski said it best, when he called out “don’t love yourself in art, but the art inside you”, the problem was in all probability as prevalent then as it is now. I am not saying loving yourself is a bad thing, I am not saying an artist should be egoless…

FINDING YOUR SHADOW AS AN ARTIST

FINDING YOUR SHADOW AS AN ARTIST There is a social construct, isn’t there, a social norm, a social bulldozer that wants to level out and iron out everything. And it does. We agreed years ago (unfortunately) to be half. We all chimed, smiled, and danced to a Monty Python like…

DUSTY HERMETIC BOOKS AND PRINCIPLES ABOUT ACTING

DUSTY HERMETIC BOOKS AND PRINCIPLES ABOUT ACTING Apparently, one can find truths about acting everywhere.
