Do You Know What I Did Last Summer?

"When I am on stage, people don't want to see me.  They want better than me." - Chris Rock

2. What I Did Last Summer

3. What I Learned Last Summer

   The Process of Theater Compared to Life
   Process of Theater	You
   Select best person for the part	You
   Script with stage directions	Make it  up as you go
   Director watches and gives you feedback on how to improve	Figure it out as you go
   Practice it over and over again	Only one chance
   Performance is still not perfect	You are doing a pretty good job with what you have to work with

4. Into the Light
   • Cirque Du Soleil - Alegria

     When you cross the line into the light, you leave the remainder of your life behind. You live your life the other 22 hours a day, but when you step into the light that all goes away and you are there just for the audience

   • Vomit
   • Looked like he had done it forever
   • You can change who you are at least for the important performances of your daily life
   • Change Emotion in an Instant and look like you had been that way forever: Thunderstorm / Calm
   • "When I am on stage, people don't want to see me.  They want better than me." - Chris Rock

Guest Speaker: I could not teach you how to change the way you act; so, I brought in a professional.
