lots of thoughts running through my head after tonight's performance of Beware of Pity. this was definitely the best piece of theatre i've seen in a super long time. i don't even have the words. i felt like i was in another universe after i stepped out of the theatre.
i spoke with Christopher the other day about how i have a tendency to overthink everything and spend too much time scraping around for details when i don't always need them. i was doing it with the non-surtitled shows we've been seeing, getting frustrated at my inability to keep up with the storyline. upon speaking to him, i quickly realized that this mindset--this overbearing need to know absolutely everything--stems back to my work as an actor. it's a lot of thinking and not enough doing. i get too caught up in my head instead of allowing myself to just be.
as i've continued to watch these shows, i'm doing a much better job at just observing what is directly in front of me. i've found myself weaning off of this idea that i need to fully understand the storyline in order to get into it or appreciate the emotion of the characters. i honestly think these shows will help me get out of my head when i'm performing from now on.
on another note, almost every show has had music in it. pretty dope how the Germans cross artforms so nonchalantly.
