ONLY CONNECT: There's No I in Failure
http://markcoleman-mark.blogspot.com/2009/10/theres-no-i-in-failure.html
Acting and the Soul. Saturday, 31 October 2009. There's No I in Failure. My intense relief that I managed to actually survive the training with Anna Helena Maclean over the past fortnight is wonderful, and nice to have finally performed as a class in front of an albeit smallish audience too. We also know something more about each other's strengths and vulnerabilities as artists, and plenty about each other's intimate parts thanks to all those gymnastic routines!

Acting and the Soul. Wednesday, 2 September 2009. The Virtues of Faith, Empathy, Service Love= Great Acting. I would dearly wish my drama school training, which starts in less than a month (eek! It IS a simple and undeniable truth that some people are better actors than others. That is usually because they desperately WANT to be better, and are willing to do anything to make that possible. Life’s unfair, yes! That belief doesn’t mean I receive any extra help! The prioblem is, how can you begin to measure...

Acting and the Soul. Saturday, 18 April 2009. So much has been happening over the past few weeks, both inwardly and outwardly, and I suppose I have been living very. I wish to reflect on things a bit here and maybe tie it all together, if I can, before I return to teaching on Monday. Forgive me if any of this comes across as self-indulgent, ignorant or naïve- or all three! 8230; Extraordinary… Absolutely tremendous… Bloody marvellous! Wonderful. and what must I work on to improve it.”. You need to have a...

Acting and the Soul. Sunday, 20 September 2009. The following is from a recent article I wrote for a Glasgow Quaker magazine, Elmbank Events. A week before I go to drama school it summarises the journey that has brought me to this watershed moment in my life. 8230;There isn't anyone anywhere that isn't Seymour's Fat Lady. Don't you know that? Don't you know that goddam secret yet? And don't you know—listen to me, now—don't you know who that Fat Lady really is? And I’ve continued to act in theatre e...

Acting and the Soul. Sunday, 28 June 2009. Dealing with Inner Dæmons (Part I). The main body of this posting consists of a long list I have been thinking about over the past few days and then compiled during my long walk home from this morning’s Quaker meeting. It’s actually a list of twisted taunts my horrible Inner Critic goads me with. As you will probably start to understand it’s no wonder I mess up so often! It strangles and chokes my talent. Here’s that list. Or The Inner Critic's Catechism). Succe...
