Find a piece of music that captures your acting muscle of specificity at the start of our time together.
Find a painting that captures your acting muscle of specificity today.
Find an object that captures what it felt like to be in-character at the start of our time together.
Find a passage from a book of fiction that captures what it feels like to be in-character today.

EA Physical Practice Playlist (Apple Music)
This week I’ve added THREE new songs to our EA Physical Practice playlist.
Gravity (Sara Bareilles) to invite the taste of touch, Heal (Tom Odell) to inspire the permission of our lazy, Sunday morning roll, and Departure (Daughter) to inspire your world of standing and 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.

This week I’ve added Elysium (Lostboy, Slashtaq) to our EA Imagination Practice playlist.

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:
