The Constitution According to Dax

,

I, Dax Richardson, accept that vulnerability and cold honest truth are the keys to a memorable performance and narrative of any story! To do this one must have something to say, a burning so great and so necessary that only a few can understand yet everyone knows when one sees it!

I am dedicated to learning, loving, and willfully obtaining the skill set required to instill in others the same joy of storytelling that the great actors of today have instilled in me.

I admire and revere the working process with other actors and the dynamic synthesis that occurs when a good director and good actor come together and create magic! As Blanche Dubois would say " I don't want realism, I want magic! " I intend to give the world Magic!

                                       I GOT IT, I GET IT , I'M GONE...

                                            I AM WHO I THINK I AM

Declaration to Artistic Freedom

,

I, Elizabeth Ann Aaron, believe that stories that entertain and move people emotionally are among our best and most powerful teachers. They are crucial for broadening the human experience and instigating positive change in the world. This is because stories told well stay with us, encourage us to take action or see something differently, and can be transformational for us as individuals, groups, even whole societies.

I am committed to letting my light shine, to having a voice, and to being the best artist I can be as I contribute to bringing important stories into the world. In doing so, I aim to help people feel connected, raise their awareness, enrich their lives, help them grow, and ultimately, influence them to make the world a kinder, healthier, more resilient place for future generations.

I respect the processes - new and old - through which art is created and shared. I respect the plans the universe has for me and all other human beings. I respect that artists are poised and wired to create work that makes a difference to people on a deep level. And I have faith that my artistic gifts and talents are meant to be shared and of service to others. This is the path I feel I was chosen for and am meant to walk. I walk it mindfully, faithfully, passionately. I walk it with curiosity, fun, and openness to possibility.

I Will Be the Change I Want To See

,

I, Tonya Canady, believe that my entire being vibrates at a higher level when creating and sharing. I believe that to judge others is to in essence, judge myself. I believe that only my "fixed Mindset" can hold me back from accomplishing any of my goals/dreams.

I am committed to creating and sharing my life experience, talent and knowledge with the world. My journey continues to heal my wounds and may serve to help someone else.

I respect that I will make mistakes and believe I can learn and grow from them. I believe that my purpose is to heal the wounds of others.

I WILL BE THE CHANGE I WANT TO SEE.

I WILL LOVE MYSELF UNCONDITIONALLY LIKE MY MOTHER LOVED ME ON EARTH AND LOVES ME ETERNALLY.

Posting to Blog

I, Lisa Veshecco am ready, willing and able to commit fully to my artistic empowerment. I am doing this by fully participating in learning how to use the tools in the digital age and by takings steps to unleash the genius within. I practice daily the tools of my craft. I agree to tell the story's that I am guided to tell and to trust that they are important, relevant and possess the seeds to heal, nurture and prosper myself and others. There is a place for me and my "type" in the industry and I am committed to showing up in that place, empowered and in service to others. I am open to the process of collaboration with other creatives who are engaging with their minds and spirits to connect with humanity.

The commitments!!!!

-What do I like and believe about show business?

What I like very much about show biz is that it's fun; nobody is there that doesn't want to be there, even the crew, I enjoy the opportunities and it's one of the first jobs I've ever had where there is a feeling of community ...the downside; it can be very unfair and fickle, it can exploit desperation and the fact that money is in many aspects the overriding concern which I think stifles artistic expression in the long run....

-What holds me back?

Sometimes I feel unqualified to be in such close proximity and working with experienced people whereas I'm there on a wing and a prayer....my training is minimal; courses in college, plays and scene study, a few short films and watching closely on sets where I'm merely an extra though in the 3 years since I've gotten back into the "swing" of it I've managed a quite a few featured roles where I've gotten to interact with some extremely talented people...

-What is true about the digital age?

It's the present and the future that carries the past

-What is possible in the digital/information age???

The sky is the limit; basically that's what drew me to your course and also what I learned from SAG reps, that this is a new frontier and nobody really knows where or what it will lead to...it may be a disaster but one that demands a thorough review

-What do I believe about the actors around me?

That they're struggling like me but that they're more talented than me; that they all have a basic belief that there is something deep down in them that deserves to be revealed....regardless of criticism; they're kind of like Iceland in that respect The bad? Well, they can be a little narcissistic but I'm willing to excuse that due the nature of our calling...

What are my agreements as an actor/ artist?

I agree to do what I can to achieve an end, to reach down deep inside of me and assert myself in the pursuit of excellence without regard to ego or selfish concerns To learn from those around me and employ it to the best of my ability To believe in art as a way of forging civility in society and it's reflection of the truth in humanity

What am I committed to creating in the digital age?

Visual/audio art and my growth within

As far as collaborating with other actors, writers and directors, what are my agreements?

I'm open and willing to work with anyone in the pursuit of something tangible and agreed upon, I'm all for collaboration and cooperation

My declaration of artistic freedom or constitution-

-I, daniel Patrick Mccormick believe in the spirit of artistic freedom because it is a sacred covenant between existence and immortality...how much time I have left is beyond my control and believe in never dismissing an opportunity, wether it be financial or artistic, I never refuse a job which is a vow I took when I retired from my last career, a soul crushing occupation...I'm a painter and writer as well and without fail I do something that utilizes my creativity every day... I believe deeply in artistic expression-

I'll be sketching for a new painting after I send this off....thank you for the class!!!

Kate's Commitment

I believe that we all seek understanding and connectedness. As an actor, it is through story (whether via novel, play, screenplay, music, etc), I can play a part in helping connect people with the human condition.

I want to do what I’m afraid of in the next 8 weeks. Push really hard, let people in, trust myself and others. Ask for “favors”. See what I CAN do. I WANT TO LET MYSELF FAIL in this safe space!!

I am a channel for artistic creativity. I need to exercise my artistic muscles and let it happen and trust it will take me where I’m supposed to go. In doing that, I will let my career come to me.

I’m going to go for broke like it’s my last chance to make it happen.

Here goes... My Declaration of Artistic Freedom

,

I, Ashley Ayanna Adams, believe that this is for me. I believe that with enough hard work, commitment, and faith, anyone can make it in this business.

I am committed to taking control of my destiny and working as hard as I can to accomplish my goals and make my dream a reality.

A great story can change lives. Actors are storytellers. We each have our own unique story to tell the world, and in this time of smart phones, and social media, we have the ability to reach people like never before.

My story will be heard. I can do this. I will do this.

I am enough.
