Meisner Technique Teacher Terry Martin returns to The Spiritual Artist Podcast to discuss emotions and how we can use them to drive the creative process. He advises not to avoid them or stop them but to express them completely without judgment. Emotions are not static; they are a "movement" toward expression.
In honor of Stephen Sondheim's recent passing, Terry shares Sondheim's creative advice in lyrics from "Into the Woods" and "Sunday in the Park with George" while explaining the power behind emotions. The conversation includes the importance of embracing your emotions and learning to be who you are in every single moment. Discover the importance of following your impulses, seeing new creative opportunities, and feeling the excitement of discovering new levels in your work.
Whether you're an actor, painter, ceramicist, or musician, learn to stand in your emotional experience and see where it takes you. According to Sondheim, "Stop worrying where you're going. Move on. If you can know where you're going, you've gone. Just keep moving on."
