dude read stella adler's book "the art of acting". fucking genius. or anything by mamet. @ nyu, that's more the atlantic company's philosophy, but my improv teacher does it a bit with us & it rocks. & of course, an actor prepares by stanislavski if you havent read it yet. i kinda had a similar breakthrough with realizing musical theatre isnt what i want to do. i always thought, growing up, that MT was a lot harder because they do 3 things & theatre kids do 1. but then i came to nyu & realized that that's not accurate. there is SO much more to acting &, for me at least, it's a lot more emotionally fufilling & lets my brain work more than musical theatre does.
haha let me know if you want more-- i'm obsessed with this stuff. & stella adler, naturally.
PS-- i'm on the phone with erica, and she says hi and that she loves you! PPS-- okay so i totally was looking through pictures in my old photo albums the other day, and you are definitely in like 2. hahaha wow old jpas days. hahaha.
