Can you imagine performing in an energetic, two-person, 90-minute play where you’re on stage for almost the entire show, engaging in fast-paced witty banter with your co-star? Now imagine rehearsing and performing in that play while also performing with an improv team, teaching an Improv 101 course, and helping your mom recover from surgery. And all of this is happening while you’re preparing to move from North Carolina to New York City and start a new job. To do all of this successfully, you’ll probably need to do a pretty good job of managing your energy. In this episode we sit down with Lauren Foster-Lee, a multi-talented actor, vocalist, improviser, and teacher. Lauren shares some of the tricks and tools she uses to manage her time and especially her energy. She talks about the desire for perfection and how she’s personally made peace with it. She also discusses “staying in your lane” and trusting others to do their jobs, which can be particularly valuable in an intricate endeavor like bringing a play to the stage.
