How much can you bring to a moment? Is listening and reacting in a truthful way enough? What about what your instincts are saying? Not mention impulses to move, to touch, to run...? How full can a moment be? When do you pull back? When do you give it everything you got? What happens if you fail or fall on your face? What risks are worth taking? How personal do allow myself to be? How much do I reveal? How often? How open should I be to the person across from me? Can I trust her? What if I put something out there and she doesn't respond? And so on and so forth...
One thing I am absolutely certain of: if you do nothing you will get nothing in return. Every moment is an opportunity to express yourself in some relevant and real way to what is going on with you personally and to what the script needs to say. Every moment is an opportunity to discover something new about the person across from you regardless of how the script wants to paint her. Every moment is an opportunity to risk revealing something about yourself that you otherwise wouldn't. Every moment counts. No matter how evanescent or never ending a moment may feel, to let a moment pass by without doing anything or giving it everything you feel it needs is an opportunity lost. Once a moment is over it never comes back. It never comes back. A moment is your opportunity to create and at the same time be transformed in the moment to what the moment demands of you.
Paolo.
