dc.description.abstractAs an actor I am a careful explorer. For this careful explorer the challenge is: Embracing Fear: Finding Opportunities Within Failure. The primary area of investigation concerns the relationship between Race: Understanding Origins and Sensuality/Sexuality: Understanding the Vocabulary of my Body. I am investigating the structure of Racial Passing as it relates to fear and limitation in theatre performance. Through academic research and physical/studio exploration I have built a conscious awareness of my own habitual participation in Racial Passing. This awareness will allow me to have more effective use of the vocabulary of my body resulting in more range and specificity. This, in-turn, will allow me to discover/utilize different aspects of myself and allow the text to function as a road map for moments of discovery, the natural geographical information filled in with in-rehearsal risk taking.
