Best words from this week.
To all the heroes.
I was thinking, when exactly did I stop thinking about theatre in terms of the "me" and more in the terms the "we"? Because to be an Arts Advocate, you have to be thinking more in terms of the unit rather than a single actor.
Being an actor has caused me a lot of pain over the years. Auditions give me massive anxiety, and not getting a role I was made for can break my heart. Yet through it all, I wouldn't give it up for anything. I wouldn't have had a place of refuge when home was a place of turmoil, or direction and purpose when I felt life was meaningless. In fact, I may not even be alive today without the art I love so much.
