| | I think each of us have our own version of neverland. If you were to think about it, Neverland in the famous Peter Pan by J.M. Barry was somewhat his [J.M. Barry's] fantasy land. The place where he would like to escape to, the place that is his and his alone.
Some people's Neverland may be movies or tv series's. Others probably Music or books even. For me however, is a combination of all three.
I love letting go of my thoughts, emotions, my whole being and just allow it to be engulfed in one or all of those mediums. I love feeling as though I am in that song/movie/book. Apart of the story if you will. Thats my escape. My Neverland.
I suppose thats what attracts me to Acting. Being someone else, feeling what someone else is feeling even for a while...thats exciting to me.
Although while saying all this I just realised that I probably sound as though i don't know who I am and that I'm confused and what not. But on the contrary. I know exactly who I am. And acting would challenge that, and make me only know me even more.
However, Acting does not only happen in the movies or tv or theater. It's in our everyday life. We exercise it every single day. This morning for instance. My mum and I went send my dad off at the airport and one of his colleagues introduced this young lady [he was probably 40+ and she probably 20/30] as his second wife. Obviously it'll take a few people off guard but thats where your acting skills come in. Just smile and make it look genuine. My mum couldn't do that :p heh.
ANYWAY back to Neverland.
I love feeling what the characters in the book/movie is feeling. The love, joy and happiness. And that laughing in tears when an ending is so cheesiely sweet. I enjoy it. I really do. My guilty pleasure. My escape. Same thing i suppose.
oh well. :)
so how's your day been?
