Happy Holidays, UTD!

I hope you are having a wonderful holiday surrounded by loved ones! The last week of the year is often one of my favorites. Most of the holiday stress and work is over, and while it is hard for me to sit still, the energy is a little bit more restful and restorative. I like to use this week as a time for reflection. What were the wonderful moments from the waning year? What habits or recurring discomforts do I want to release in the coming year?

This week is a unique time where I feel the energy and excitement of goal setting, but the pressure isn't there to fully take action yet. My favorite sweet spot. I encourage you to sit down and reflect a little in this transitionary time.

Put an hour or two of real exploratory thought into the things you are proud of from 2021.

What areas are you not happy with your output?
What are little actions you can take to make some changes in 2022?

The more we can be honest with ourselves and layout small, specific, and actionable tasks the more we will see movement in our day-to-day.

As you will see below, the news cycle has slowed to a near halt this past week and will remain slow for the next week or two. This holiday email is in an abbreviated format but you can still find links to news articles below.

Lastly, I want to take this moment to say thank you. Thank you for being a part of our UTD family. With all of the ups and downs of this pandemic new-normal, the importance of community has been renewed for me. We are social beings. I believe we all need to feel seen, heard, and supported. We at the Up-To-Date Actor strive to see where you are in your path, hear your frustrations and accomplishments, and support you in your noble path to being a successful actor. We are honored to be of service to you.

Wishing you a happy, healthy, prosperous, New Year!

Upcoming Events

Mark your calendar! We have two workshops scheduled in January to help you set goals and take action in 2022!

I highly encourage you to attend our Taxes workshop. We only offer this workshop early in the year and I'm telling you....taxes should not be a source of frustration. Learn how to set up your career as a business to legitimately take advantage of the numerous deductions available to performing artists.
