Episode 18 - SCOTT COOPWOOD

-

 


"And that's like this time period that we're going through. What we're losing, hopefully the perspective that we're gaining, and the humanity and the empathy that we're gaining for people that are in more dyer straights than we are. That have less than we do. That maybe we come out of this understanding humanity a little bit better because we've been through something collective together."



 

Living the Dream during COVID - 19: In this episode I talk with professional stage actor Scott Coopwood. Scott makes his living full time as an actor and teaching artist, and is known for his expertise in performing and teaching Shakespeare. We discuss unemployment, what returning might look like, staying positive during these difficult times, what he's been doing since the last interview, and what he's looking forward to in the future.

So I am back at the beginning. That 2 year old son is now 15 and so much has changed, especially me. Among the turmoil,

Actress Post #7 - The Point of Acting Part 2

Okay, I'll admit it. I'm having doubts. How can I continue to afford these acting coach lessons? How can I possibly have enough time to work on my craft, my music, my dance when I'm constantly chasing a four year old around, working a full time job, barely getting enough sleep, let alone getting all the laundry done, and so on and son on and so on, ad nauseam. I'm feeling 'overwhelmed' is an understatement! Maybe I'm crazy and I'm still trying to pursue a path that's closed its door to me many, many years ago. If I'm not performing now, and I didn't move to NYC at 26 when I had the chance, and I'm still dreaming about performing more than doing it then maybe I'm just a dreamer, not a doer, and I need to stop pretending that things are ever going to be any better, and just accept that this is as good as it gets! I'm pretty nice to myself aren't I? This was a rant I began on August 30th of 2010, and one I have mentally revisit
