Welcome!

Welcome to the STC2005 blog! I hear you thinking now, "Yeah, but what's it FOR?" Well, it's for reflection and discussion of the craft of acting. Only half of an actor's training occurs in the rehearsal room, the other half comes from examining and internalizing the discoveries you make and lessons you learn, so you can apply them later on. For that purpose I'm asking everyone to make quick journal postings here on a daily basis (or as close to that as possible) about what you're learning, what's working for you and what isn't. Of course you're not being graded on any of this, it's not legal requirement, but if you're really interested in becoming the best performer you can, I promise, journaling is an incredibly useful tool.

The other purpose of the blog is to facilitate communication between members of the STC ensemble. Do you have a show coming up? A concert that you think everyone should see? Amazing research you've discovered on Titus? A really great joke? Post it here. Think of this blog as a continuation of the conversations you have in class, and a way to continue those discussions outside the rehearsal space.

That's all for now, I look forward to your postings!

Ian
