I had no idea the same grounding practices we use in mindfulness meditation are also explored in acting and improv, but that makes total sense! I had to do a re-read because I thought I clicked the wrong Substack 😂 So glad to have found you. Thanks for sharing!
There’s a ton of overlap! Especially in improv, where being in the moment is so critical. So often, people performing end up in their heads, which is not a great place to be when you’re trying to look in front of you.
Thank you for finding and reading! This is actually the first article I ever wrote and it’s nice to see it’s still being read.
Awesome essay Rick! I loved the playful tone. Your personality radiates off the page!
Such an important and sharp message about being present. As I was reading, I followed every word and could feel myself becoming more present and grounded in my body.
