Every artistic discipline awakens my creativity, stretches my imagination, emboldens me. Scene study classes, improv sessions, singing lessons all help me activate my ideas, emotions, experiences, and history. If I’m at a dead end creatively with an art work, rather than persisting I may turn to work on a monologue, rehearse a song in order to refresh my imagination and get unstuck. What I offer as an artist are my perceptions filtered through the artistic medium I am using. As I see it, creating art is a form of self discovery.
