EP #21: Practicing your script

You’ve written your script—the list of thoughts that describe who you truly are and who you truly want to be. Showtime is coming. The set is being built. The props are being purchased. The lights are being hung. Auditions are underway for the supporting actors. And you just got the rehearsal schedule: you’re due to practice every day, at least twice. You want to know your lines inside out so that you can live your character, not robotically, but seamlessly. It’s easy to recite your lines to the mirror, holding your script in front of you in the privacy of your own dressing room. It’s another to do it on stage in full make-up and costume, with the crowd watching, the lights blinding, and the pressure building. And that’s why you’re practicing your thoughts. So that the next time you pass the corner bakery with the tiramisu that you swear calls you by name, you’ll be ready. The next time you come home from work exhausted and restless, bored and lonely, you’ll be ready. Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.holdingthespace.co/20
