Once took a scene study class. Acting. It was one of the most significant things I ever did. I look back and think,
"That changed my life." It really did. I do recommend it. Getting up in front of other people. Learning a scene. Playing another character. It is empowering, liberating, eye and head opening. You make a fool of yourself, in a small room, where other folks make fools of themselves too. You grow. As a person.
I remember doing a scene from The Rainmaker. I do believe that I was doing the Burt Lancaster part. Funny. This still resonates with me all these years later...
"Where ARE you going Big Man?"
"I don't rightly know."
