I am very happy to report that one of our crew, Jennifer Bronstein, in partnership with two other women, has co-founded a new theater group called,  “Little Candle Productions.”  They are having a fundraising event on the 23rd of April and I encourage any of you that are able, to come out and support this beginning. I will be in attendance and hope to see you there. I will always do my best to support the development of theater in Los Angeles. The information is below.

Here is a “Ted Talks” that was sent to me by one of the crew, Camila Greenberg. She had wanted me to see it based on some of the session work that we have been doing together. She found Dr. Brene Brown shared a number of insights that were reflective if not down right similar. I believe that many of you might have a similar experience. I found it very valuable.

This article is a tribute to the value of acting and the value of the actor. Beyond this, I would add my belief that we are pursuing a developmental process of the actor and the person that can further elevate, invigorate, and define the desire to be at our best as we continue to become better. Those of you that have continued your work have found that we are a special breed of person. We are given this remarkable opportunity to survey the human condition (the conflicted self) as an actor, while simultaneously delving into the intricacies  of our own development (the less conflicted self). This is a major undertaking, but I can think of nothing more worthwhile. Our work is both developmental and instrumental. As we continue our work together and you begin to work on the specifics of vocal/physical/emotional integration, I believe you will become an actor that does not have to look to the British Actor as the gold standard, but will actually set a new standard of actor that is inclusive of their instrumental precision actively unleashed with American emotional drive. I would prefer to not make it a choice between the British or American actor, as to whom is better, I would rather want to integrate, not separate the two, period. Enjoy the article. Look forward to your thoughts.

This was sent to me by one of our crew, Valerie Azlynn and I wanted to share it with all.
