Felipe’s Ongoing BGB Workout Class had their final Zoom performance this Sunday, and WOW. This group of actors is incredible. Working not against, but with the constraints of the online space, they have pushed new bounds in their own craft and built each other up to new heights.

Felipe's Ongoing BGB Workout Class had their final Zoom performance this Sunday, and WOW. This group of actors is incredible. Working not against, but with the constraints of the online space, they have pushed new bounds in their own craft and built each other up to new heights.

Felipe says of them:
This class is full of profoundly sensitive human beings yearning to connect. These actors dare to truly connect not only with their true selves, but with each other's true selves.

We couldn't be more thrilled to call them BGB Actors.

Comment with one way that working on Zoom has helped YOU as an Actor in the past few months!

Ok, this might feel weird. But say this out loud:

Ok, this might feel weird. But say this out loud:
I AM AN ACTOR.
No, seriously. Say it out loud. We’ll wait...

It’s not easy to declare yourself. You may struggle with what that even means.

“Did I get paid enough for my work this year to call myself an actor?”
“Do I have an agent, or a good enough agent?”
"Am I talented enough?"

Say it again. Out loud: I AM AN ACTOR!

Being an actor is in your bones.
Even on a cellular level, you need to express what’s inside of you. You have big feelings and a fierce desire to explore the human experience.

You are an artist, an actor.

AND WE ARE HERE FOR IT!

So, here’s your next step...
Live your life as an actor, no matter what's in your way right now, and make sure you're expressing your full creative spirit every day in some way.

Now one more time. Declare it. I AM AN ACTOR.

Declare it in the comments. Let us know how it makes you feel. And if you need more inspiration, click the link in our bio.

We are humbled by the response to Digging In: Find

We are humbled by the response to Digging In: Finding Freedom. We received almost 200 applications for this class and each one from a unique and powerful Black artist! Thank you!

From Ashley & Eric:
“It has been a truly unique honor for us to pour through the many applications for our Digging In: Finding Freedom, eight week class. Your heart, stories, and passion for your art really shined through, and made it very challenging to select just a limited number of actors to go on this journey with us.”
@ashleigh... & @ericbanthony

We were fortunate enough to have so many applicants that we asked @brandonkgood to create a one-day workshop for 10 more Actors to have a spot. Story of Self with Brandon Kyle Goodman is a one-day storytelling intensive on Zoom, founded in activism, performance studies, and personal narrative. In tandem with a thriving career as an actor and writer, Brandon has taught personal storytelling performance + movement to hundreds of actors, and during the past 6 months, his IGTV content focusing on race and identity has gone viral time and time again.

If you applied for "Digging In" be sure to check your inbox, including your junk mail for a response! We appreciate all of your creativity, vulnerability, and passion so much.

You may feel like you want to give up. This shit is intense; it's really, really hard.

We don't know much in all this. But we do know that no matter how bad things get, Art brings Hope.

At its core, the expression of the human experience in art affirms our humanity. Art is a middle finger back at it all, a revolutionary declaration that we are still here, we are still feeling, we are still human.

Art has always dug us out of the lowest points in our lives. No matter what, the expression of art has healed us. At some point, the Muse is going to come calling. Don't ask yourself whether now's the time, just create. It will heal you. And when you heal, you can heal those around you.

Right now, our BGB community- and the work that's happening in our classes- is saving us all, actors and teachers alike. Our Studio is home to the kind of humanity-affirming artistic work that fills us with hope. Our teachers and our actors are collaborating and healing in virtual spaces to make art.

Where are you finding hope? Inspiration? Art? It’s necessary. Tell us and each other in the comments below.

The Self-Tape Setup Challenge! We can get tangled

The Self-Tape Setup Challenge! We can get tangled up in our ideas of what our set up "should" be, so let's take a moment to set up our space in a way that sets us up for our best work. Everyone that joins will be entered to win a 🎥 Self-Tape Coaching Session with Risa! 🎬 Here's how it works:

1. Follow @bgbstudio and share this post to your story! 🤳
2. Head over to your Self-Tape area at home, make sure it feels like a creative work space (and if not, find a new one?), and add 1-2 things that helps ground you. A candle, a fave book, a point of inspiration, proximity to a window. You want to love this space; it is meant to bring you ease, joy, and inspiration. Make this set-up practice a meditation. A ritual. A place of creative expression. Once you're happy with it, take a PICTURE of the whole space! 📸
3. Post it on Instagram, tag @bgbstudio, and tell us what you love about your self-tape space and how it influences your work! ❤️

We're not looking for your fancy ring light or your high-tech camera. We want this to be a practice for YOU to create a laboratory/container/temple where you can truly dive in to your work. It's an opportunity to control the elements around you so you can release control in the moment in your Work. This is what we practice in our Self-Tape classes, and we want to give you a moment of this today, too. Can't wait to see what you come up with! The winner will be randomly selected and notified this Thursday, so get on it! 🌟
