New Year, New Moment

Improv is all about moments--experiencing and living fully into each moment, finding the funny, the fullness, the...truth ...of THAT moment and living into it. Thats what makes improv funny. Not preplanning the next moment or regretting the past one, but LIVING in this one.

As the year turns, we have a new and big shot at living in the moment. It's a huge moment shift. Take advantage of it. Live fully in it. Enjoy 2009 and all of its ridiculous, sloppy, joyous moments.

Happy holidays and Happy New Year!

Historic Jumps

What a week! I have been a CNN junkie-- addicted to polls, craving more Obama and falling for David Gergen! (His dulcid, fair, even keeled tones draws me in with every breath!) And at last there was a payoff: We Americans have elected a NEW president who I believe CAN and WILL bring the change we so desperately need in this country.

We have taken a BIG LEAP as a country and it feels like we took BIG LEAPS as individuals too. Individuals made this historic election possible.

New York feels different. People are looking at each other, the air is fresher, hope seems to have returned to the collective. Seriously.

NOW is the time to take other big leaps. Ride the wave of momentum! What have you been afraid of doing or avoiding? Take your own big leaps, create your own jumps of faith, discover your own acts of bigness and braveness. Take advantage of the energy and impulse and possibility in the air.

Here's to it!
(...and David Gergen, my new BF! )

P.S. how happy am I if I never see or hear Baye Buchanen again!?!?!

Get Zipped!

There are 2 Zipper shows left of THE F TRIP---my unbelievably autobiographical solo show!

There was a lovely audience for the last show--supportive, intent, engaged. It was an interesting experience for me---playing in such a larger, proper theater space, sharing my intimate story there. I had to keep reminding myself to stay in the present and stay connected. It's funny in a solo show---there's no one to connect to, BUT THE AUDIENCE! So when I struggled onstage, it was usually, because I had stopped connecting to the audience...and connecting in a real way, not a fake way. I genuinely speak to the audience and need their response---be it verbal or just emotional. It's a 2-way street. An actor without an audience is just a rehearsal. Come be a part of the connection. Take my trip.
