Putting it all out there…
Comments (2) I just got back from my therapist, Laura, and it was a hard/productive session. (Funny how those two things are so often tied together in therapy…) So I have a few things are churning in my mind right now that might ultimately need to be spun out into multiple posts, but lets see where thinking out loud gets me.
I’ve been feeling some heavy procrastination/writers block lately. I think it’s partly because, in my mind, performance (which is the end goal of much of my writing) is so related with not only outing myself but revealing potentially embarrassing personal details.
Obviously, theatre doesn’t inherently involve revealing deep, hidden parts of yourself (although I think good theatre often does) but I’m kind of gearing up toward this hour-long personal narrative piece I’ve committed myself to, which will revolve around my experiences as a trans woman. Now, I can do things (like the ‘Coming Out Lecture’) that are more indirectly personal, and not simply “Here’s something about myself I’ve never shared before.” But at least some of the show is going to end up like that.
