What kind of reality are you creating with your subconsciousness?
This is the same reality which will be dominating your acting. Why might a teacher or lecturer not believe you character as strong and proud, if in your subconsciousness you believe yourself to be fearful and under threat. Travelling will not reveal to you all the complex structures of your beliefs, but if we are open and willing it might give a very strong indicator of how you see the world and therefore what you may think of yourself. And that is a wonderful tool for increased consciousness and marvellous fuel for a step towards further freedom. Go to cafe's alone, visit cities you do not know, and countries where you do not speak the language alone. Not only will your artist soul sing in joy at the adventure, but if you choose to pay close attention you will learn a lot about what you project as a person in your everyday state and how that may be affecting your creative freedom on stage.
