Wigs

[Hopper]

Heh...well to be blunt, (Who me? Say it aint so, Hopper) anyone who tells you you can't do something in the name of some sort of rule is giving you bad advice. No one can tell you whats right for you except you.

THERE ARE NO RULES! (only guidelines and techniques) These so-called teachers only tell you the rules because that's what they were taught and they're just passing it on. Dollars to doughnuts they can't even tell you the purpose of the rule or where it actually originated.

(Ok, so maybe "be on time" and "don't go to a gig smelling like booze and cigarettes" are pretty good rules, but that's about it.)

Nettie, its OK if you want to wear different hair everytime you go out. I think artistically, you may owe your audiences a good yarn explaining why your hair is different, but that's it. (off the top of my head, I'm thinking that your hair could be like a mood ring...or maybe it changes based on what you ate that morning)

Say it with me:

My hair is not my character.
My costume is not my character.
My shoes are not my character.
These are just accessories.

My character is in the way I talk,
the way I think,
the way I act,
the way I move,
the way I emote,

My clown is in my heart, and who is to say what form it "should" take when it comes out to play?

No one except me, thats who.

Say it again

(Liberating, aint' it?)
