The acting workshop I'd organised was intense, with exercises focused on the mismatch between displayed emotions and those actually felt... and the potential dangers of that disconnect.
After the workshop, one aspiring superstar sent me a message with technical questions. Normally, I'd reply straight away, but for some reason, I didn't respond at all.
The next day, I saw her and apologised. She turned towards me, straightened, and opened her arm slightly, palms visible, smiling. In one fluid motion, her body preceded her calm, hushed words: "I'm so angry with you..." she said, her smile lingering as she tilted her head just so.
I was stumped for a moment, then replied, "I gather you've found the answer to your excellent question."
Later, reflecting on the incident, I realised how I'd dismissed her question, only to be proven wrong about her talent. There's real value in the benefit of doubt.
When corporate lingo mangles your files and your presentation becomes a slide deck... under the pretence of casino-based maritime fun. All in the face of systemic depravity.
Looks like neighbour finished their front conversion. Coffee house jazz now wafting out... I think I'll go over and check it out. Possibly a Luze Guattara LP for gift exchange?
