Stage
If you are watching something long and challenging, remember that having an alcoholic drink beforehand is asking for trouble. To see also : The idea of the Sixers is not new. Sports arenas around the United States have been built on or near transit.. So make sure you do it.
Decorate a room as if you were a set designer, and let your imagination run wild. As William Morris said, everything that is not useful or beautiful is a son.
Study your favorite standup and learn their best joke by heart. It’s not just about making your friends laugh: comedy teaches confidence and communication.
Do you feel sad, happy, angry, nervous? There’s a showtune for that! From Evan Hansen to Alexander Hamilton to Mary Poppins, find a character whose feelings mirror yours – then release that emotion.
Improv isn’t just something zany that comedians do on telly. It’s a philosophy, as Pippa Evans’ recent book Improv Your Life shows. When you’re thrown a curveball, deviate from your standard script. Instead of “No but” say “Yes and”. Your positivity will be rewarded.
Offer yourself to companies that provide television audiences, e.g. S.R.O. You can watch your favorite comedians for free, and hear your loud embarrassing laugh when the show airs.
Improve your mood by improving your posture. And what better example than all those upright spines in ballet? The Silver Swans videos, from the Royal Academy of Dance, are aimed at over 55s but can work for anyone. It will be one giant leap not only in the position, but in the way you see your body, every bit energized by it.
Stop idly googling at lunchtimes. Drop a better hole of YouTube and be uplifted by superhuman spinners. Recommended: Mikhail Baryshnikov’s 11 pirouettes in White Nights, Tamara Rojo’s 32 fouettés in San Lake or the countless headspins of 14-year-old B-girl Terra.
Learn two lines of Shakespeare’s soliloquy every day while you brush your teeth, morning and night. Within a month, you will have the whole thing – part part part whole!
Turned off on the first date? Ask what Romeo or Juliet will do. Worried about a presentation? Work as Mark Antony would have handled it. Rejecting a romantic proposal? Channel Yelena’s glacial spirit into Uncle Vanya. Want to take confrontations to the next level with your irritating spouse? Think Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
When you feel a slump coming on, check out dance sensation Hannah Lowther’s supermarket routines on TikTok. High kicks and twizzles in the tin soup aisle, all in a Tesco uniform.
