statement of purpose

I’m looking toward what will make me the happiest and not what will make me the most money.  My lifetime goals came into question following the attack on September 11^th.  It’s not rocket science to expect that this event will continue to have a profound affect on the lives of every American.   For me, quite simply, my focus has changed from getting to giving.  It changed from the acquisition of things to the acquisition of experience.

There are those pet projects that I have in my heart to do and now the beginnings of courage to achieve them.  I do enjoy writing and I will continue to do that with more energy and definitely more courage.  My education in the theatre and in particular on the subject of Shakespeare continues to feed my soul and will, I hope, for many years to come.  I believe in the establishment of a National Academy for the study of Shakespeare’s works.  It should be a place for educators, students as well as student actors.  I’d like to have a hand in building it.

I would also like to continue my studies in physiological psychology and pain management.  As a trained actor as well as a cognitive behaviorist, I believe that there is a link, a mind body link between what actors play at and what people suffer from. 

The opportunity to sharpen my skills as well as my focus is one that I must pursue.  My skills alone don’t show up for work, I show up for work and although that sort of whole person technology is not quite quantifiable, I know that I would be a great asset.  Knowing all this, given my eclectic experience and my personal ability to move about, as I’m not married, makes this the perfect time to pursue something on this scale.  And all my ego aside, I really would like to contribute and feel that I can make a difference.
