King for a Day

a picture share entitled "keep on moving"

Don't work in a vacuum. Find your tribe, your artistic tribe. Happy travels to all my courageous artist friends, and friends who see beyond the surface. Explore and share your truths. Go into the light. And don't forget to write home now, you hear?

Taking action many actions before we hear lights camera action

The above sculpture is one reason to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I am sure Rodin achieved many moments of stillness during the creation of this masterpiece.

Are you takig action? This is a common question in my spiritual practice. If you aren't getting the results you are seeking , I will hear someone ask this question.

This week I went back to the Screen Actors Guild Connservatory to polish some work on commercials. It is an excellent resource for on camera classes and there is a professional session director who puts us "on camera".

Next week I must pay my Actors Equity dues. It pays to pay your dues.

I wrote a theater review for ComedyBeat.com about the children's musical '"Captain Marbles"

I communicated with other actors this week. It is great to have dialogue with my colleagues. This week I really appreciated a phone conversation with extradorinary actress Furaha. We met on the set of Law and Order years ago and still keep in touch.

Communication is everything. Action is everything, and love and compassion rule. I will add some of these into my recipe while I organize paperwork, schedules, and ftting in some summer enjoyment. Practicing stillness, ahh there's the rub.

Running off to do more business..and take more action.! Happy to be a New York Actor.

Birth, Death, and Rebirth

this year people have said to me "you look like Toni Colette".

but I am Kathy "Hollywood"

Happy Birthday America! Hello, America? Miss Liberty? Is everyone on vacation or what?

I just thought I would pay homage to John Adams and

Thomas Jefferson who put their heart and soul into carving out in simple languaage our liberties. I got emotional actually , and had to google the date of their death, which was as accurately porrtrayed in the HBO series "John Adams", whoe title role was played by the wonderful Paul Giamotti. These comrades died on July 4, 1826, after living fulfilling their destinies. How admirable and remarkable.Paul Giamotti keeps transforming in his roles as an actor. What a blessed career. See you in front of the camera Paul. On one of these continents. On the spectacular planet Earth.

I was at the pier near the Intrepid the other night , watching the sunset , and a cosmic intervention took place. No lie. This guy on bicycle rode up and although there were two free benches on either side of me, he parks his bike up against the bench that I am sitting and sat down next to me. He says," see that boat, lots of men never came back , but we are here". and then , I showed him my Louis Armstrong picture and he starts to sing like Pops, 'Hello Dolly".

Amazing.

America!

May everyone have a peaceful and profound 4th this year 2010. and don't for get to "ROCK THE ERA".
