There's no business like show business

I conducted a short acting and directing class just now and we covered method acting among other things.

While doing some Stanislavski and Strasberg method exercises, I think I tapped an old memory and fell into "character" there and then. I got slightly teary and I think some students were taken a little aback. I shocked myself also...and *poof* snapped out of the zone.


"There's no people like show people
They smile when they are low
Yesterday they told you you would not go far
That night you open and there you are
Next day on your dressing room they've hung a star
Let's go on with the show..."



Issues, man.
