Inspirations - Patsy Rodenburg - Why I do Theatre

By J Edward · July 15, 2009 · 2 Comments · 48 Views

Out of my desire to infect the creative community with the desire to pursue excellence and truth in our respective crafts, I'd like to share these little pearls of wisdom and inspiration that I stumble upon. When you are a creator with the desire to work as a professional in your craft, nearly everyday you ask yourself, "Why the hell do I want to do this?" I'm hoping these occasional droplets of inspiration will help you to stay committed to following your dreams.

A little background: Patsy Rodenburg is a renowned voice and acting coach throughout the world. In this video, recorded at the Michael Howard Studios here in my home city of New York, she is actually getting ready to speak about her book, The Second Circle (which I'm dying to get my hands on). She veers off topic for a moment before she begins to speak about what the Second Circle is, but what she has to say is extraordinarily powerful. Even if you're not an actor, I suggest you watch this video. I believe it speaks to all of us as creators.

'Til next time,

Stay Wonderful!

I agree! I have The Actor Speaks from my first acting module at Wagner College. It can be a bit overwhelming because she goes to such great detail about deconstructing and reconstructing the voice, but once you dive in, it's pretty incredible.
