I feel I have to work harder, be on my toes and that is the best part as it prepares and challenges you as an actor. It’s like as an actor, you have someone to match up to their skills. I am extremely nervous but I am also excited because they are great artistes.
- Chances are their room is a disaster and they have -846 motivation to do anything about it. Helping them tidy up will make them feel a little less overwhelmed.
- Do their laundry. Even small chores seem to pile up when a person is depressed and not having clean clothes won’t make them feel any better. Washing their bedding is also great.
- Try to convince them to go for a short walk with you. There is a good chance they will feel a lot better after.
- If you can’t get them outside, at least open a window for fresh air and let some sunshine in.
- Prepare them a healthy meal with some fresh fruit. Many depressed people fall into bad eating patterns.
- If they aren’t eating enough, make sure they are taking a multi vitamin since not getting enough of a vitamin causes depression
- Make them a warm, nice smelling bath. Aromatherapy is a great way to treat depression and anxiety.
- Write them a letter or card to read for when they’re feeling really bad.
- Make them a recovery playlist with some of their favourite songs and anything up lifting.
- Make them laugh.
- Make them a cup of tea and sit with them.
- Listen to them and try to understand what they’re feeling.
If I understand correctly, these are ceramic bowls floating in a pool of water, possibly in a cave because it’s echo-y, and the clinking sound is them bumping into one another. Like wind chimes, but … water chimes?
yo, i saw this in person over the summer! it’s an art installation!
the piece is called clinamen v.2, created by Céleste Boursier-Mougenot and included as a part of the Soundtracks exhibit in the moma - i saw it in san fran, and this photo is from a showing in new york:
the exhibit is a large shallow pool filled with white ceramic bowls in varying sizes. the bowls are pushed around the pool by a gentle current, and the sound created as they hit each other is somewhere between a wind chime and a haunted bell.
i sat there for a solid ten minutes just watching the bowls move around while listening to the sounds they made. it was absolutely hypnotic…
Soundtracks runs in the san fran moma until january 1st 2018, and i absolutely recommend going if you can. many of the exhibits play with sound in 3D spaces, and there are some truly wild contraptions on display.
