Happy Wednesday! Welcome back to Acting Class Daily. Let’s dig in to this week’s personal crafting work - adding resources, recommendations, and troubleshooting tips inspired by the discoveries and challenges of EA teammates worldwide.


The Memory List

Turning the unknowns of rehearsal into the direction of character.

  1. Taste any Personal Question from your Rehearsal Report.

  2. Embrace the portal instantly. Release other possibilities.

  3. Nickname the portal and add it to your Memory List.

  4. Repeat for all remaining Personal Questions.

  5. Add a Script Memory List after your EA First Rehearsal/Report.

Nurture Transformation

Living-through the experiences that shaped your character.

  1. Taste a nickname from your Memory List.

  2. Instantly surrender to the imaginative journey of living-through each memory from when it began.

  3. Test your knowing by tasting back to each Personal Question.

  4. Fine-tune your environment to set your memory work up for success.

EA Physical Practice Playlist (Spotify)

EA Physical Practice Playlist (Apple Music)


This week I’ve added THREE new songs to our EA Physical Practice playlist.

Wise Up (Aimee Mann) to invite the taste of touch, 18th Floor Balcony (Blue October) to inspire the permission of our lazy, Sunday morning roll, and Bruises Ground (Chairlift) to inspire your world of standing, then spinning into the unknown.

The EA Physical Practice playlist is setup to be used three songs at a time, offering new flavors and colors to each of your explorations.


EA Imagination Practice Playlist (Spotify)

EA Imagination Practice Playlist (Apple Music)


This week I’ve added When I’m Small (Phantogram) to our EA Imagination Practice playlist.

The playlist begins with Perpetual Mobile (Penguin Cafe Orchestra) to ignite our Michael Chekhov work, welcome our mischievous Elysium Artist, and stir the feel of forward.

Songs are added weekly, inspiring new levels of permission and play as you cross the threshold into your playground of possibility.


It’s time to highlight a Substacker (or two) that’s sure to tickle the tastebuds and add some spice to this week’s work:

The Memory Hole
