I was given a challenge in acting class today to ask myself why am I an actor, and then keep asking it over and over again, changing my answer each time, without editing myself.
As I have my finger in all the delicious artistic pies, I thought about it as why am I an artist?
Here is what I wrote
To explore my creativity with body, voice, and mind
To escape myself
To work with other interesting people
To explore different types of people
To be noticed
To entertain
To show what can be done
To have fun
To find myself
To be crazy
To let go
To be happy
To prove I'm talented
To prove people wrong
To be accepted
To be wanted
To be chased
To be told I'm good
To understand
To be understood
To be recognized
To make people laugh
To reach the world
To be seen and have people enjoy seeing me
To be free
To change the world
To change minds
To push boundaries
To explore what others are afraid to explore
To unleash whats too often held in side me
To discover
To learn
To challenge myself
To see what I'm capable of
To exorcise some demons
To matter to people
To be on a strangers mind, to be thought about and talked about
To be different
To be unique
To be diverse and change often and be random and to not know what's coming next
To strive to be the best
Why do you do what you do?
