KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN
👀 If you close your eyes, you vanish.
😵 You’re in the middle of a high note, or a deep emotional moment… and your eyes are shut. I know it feels true. But from the audience’s seat, you just disappeared.
👁️ Your eyes are where the story lives. We see your thoughts, your hunger, your heartbreak. If you hide them, you hide the whole performance.
🌀 And here’s the paradox: the moment you want to look away is usually the exact moment we want to see you most.
↔️ Try this. Set two focal spaces: one for your partner, one for your thoughts. Use your thought space to let us watch you think. Let us see your struggle.
🫣 And if you catch yourself looking down or closing your eyes? No judgment. Just raise your gaze and keep going. That’s craft. That’s theatre.
