The Time It Takes
from I Don't Need an Acting Class · host Milton Justice
Learning to act is not something you do in one year. It takes a lifetime. In the same way, doing a play isn’t something you can take on in one night. It’s a process. Stella told a student once that if she could learn one new thing a year, she’d be on the right path. Stanislavsky likened doing a play to going on a journey and making many unexpected stops along the way that added to the overall journey. These lessons remind us that the creative process is never linear or finite. With each project and with our craft, we take on as much as we can, knowing that there are always more stops on the way to our destination, always more to revisit and explore.
