Quarantine Creativity

Being in self isolation doesn't mean that you have to sink into your couch while eating pizza and watching reality television...I say this because it is definitely a possibility for me! Here are some resources to feed your creative brain:

​Some resources that are interesting and will feed your theatre/acting/film brain while quarantined:

There are plenty of interviews out there with actors where they talk about their favorite green smoothie or some worthless fad. These links will show you actors talking about their techniques, how they approach character, etc.

Interviews:
  • Actors on Actors:

    Tools and Resources

    You are probably wondering this blog is about. Well, it's about anything that everything that I find inspiring, helpful, and curiosity building. 

    Curiosity is my favorite state of being, and I've become a treasure hunter and a trash hoarder, collecting all sorts of articles, artwork, and accessories that fuel my inspiration and creativity. 

    This will also be a place for me to document my life as an actor and coach in Los Angeles. If performing is your passion, I hope that this blog becomes a place for you to learn from my mistakes, grow from my accomplishments, laugh at my witless choices, and share in this crazy, unpredictable, beautiful, life in the arts. ​
