This Month’s Focus
Part Three: Actor’s Faith
Today’s Class
Imagination Practice (Part One)
Today’s Target
We live with tiny weights tied to the strings of our imagination.
Spending all day with a Daily Body and Intellect that knows our limits.
That knows exactly what is not possible.
What cannot be done.
In our artistry section we are wisening our instrument daily. Doing the work to build a magnet - a hunger (!) - inside our soul leading us to success in the moment … it’s life work.
But we want muscles now.
We want to break free of limitation.
We want to grow possibility.
And we want to taste it now.
Today, we’re introducing a powerful new muscle-building practice to grow your Actor’s Faith and unleash limitless possibility in your instrument’s imagination.
It’s time for the first part of our EA Imagination Practice.
