DREAMING THE DREAM
Acting is a wonderful art.
It is a game that, from the bottom of my heart, I recommend everyone try at least once in their life, starting with a small theater or association near their home.
At the heart of acting are listening, non-judgment, empathy, authenticity… it is a place, beyond time and space, where we are among equals, stripped of preconceptions, clothed in humanity.
It is a job that heals, nourishes the heart and conscience… allowing us to discover parts of ourselves that we were unaware of, giving us answers and, at times, resolving traumas.
In courses I have attended, in others I have led, and even more so on stage… I have seen real magic happen.
Acting has shown me what was latent, giving shape to the invisible.
I have been lucky to encounter incredible bridges between myself and this extraordinary phenomenon: the “masters.” Beings, places, or events that have shown me the Way.
Because acting often turns into the exact opposite of what I have tried to describe…
She, capable of nullifying the Ego, sometimes instead deceives it, flatters it… and amplifies it. It confuses it by making it believe it is something it is not.
So, fascinated by this two-headed being, enchanted by this inexplicable duality, dreaming of using acting more and more as a healing art… I often feel the need to move away from center stage to take another position, that of “the one who dreams the dream,” trying to touch the Infinity of Creation.
So, here are the small great adventures I have dreamed of and achieved.

FEAR
I believe that in order to live life to the fullest, we must transcend the idea of Fear… Fear, which can take on many different guises, in its highest form takes the shape of the fear of Death. In the duality in which we are immersed, Light and Darkness alternate in an eternal dance, unable to renounce one another. Moment by moment, it is up to us to choose to look beyond the apparent darkness to focus our gaze on the Light and move from the illusion of victimhood to that of fluid action or “non-action.” Every life takes shape in order to experience and investigate the manifested. Let us rediscover the power we have to do so. Let us transform our lives. Let us choose and honor our choices… let us breathe and enrich ourselves with what springs from them.
