No matter what your opinion is on the subject there is some great theatre online. Google it. It’s impressive.
But despite all the wonderful digital theatre I could be engaging with, I have absolutely no interest. This time is making me apathetic. I’m not inspired to engage with the art that’s informed most of my life.
I was worried about that for a bit. I thought maybe I was being lazy. But that’s really not the case. I’m actually taking a much-needed break from theatre creation and consumption… For years my mind and schedule have been flooded with it, and now I have the opportunity to breathe and reflect on the other parts of my life. Surprisingly I have things to do and people to talk to outside of that world.
We don’t need to be constantly preoccupied by our chosen profession and passions. Our lives contain much more than just that. Don’t beat yourself up if you feel like you’re not doing enough right now.
