Keeping Still

One characteristic of those who might be broadly termed 'good on a stage' is their ability to keep still when necessary. And those who are really good appear somehow to do a great deal whilst they are still.

Such purposeful stillness is an interesting skill to cultivate in the theatre of life, by the way. It's a way of steering clear of emotional contagion in that it detaches the practitioner from the group he or she may be in on any given occasion. Sometimes a curious power emerges as a result.

Try it in meetings. If nothing else, it's a way of passing the time.
