- W2801331388 abstract "Author(s): Iliev, Volen | Advisor(s): Barricelli, Marc | Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE THESISMy Godot Is OpportunitybyVolen IlievMaster of Fine Arts in Theatre and Dance (Acting)University of California, San Diego, 2018Professor Marc Barricelli, Chair“I sometimes wonder if we wouldn’t have been better off alone, each one for himself. We weren’t made for the same road.” These musings I had the immense privilege of voicing as Estragon in Beckett’s Waiting For Godot may be the quintessential metaphor for the duality of my ceaseless internal conflict as an artist. On the one hand there’s my unflinching, unassailable, and unwavering love for performing. On the other hand there’s the constant doubt and insecurity about myself, my talent and my place in the theatre. Yet, just like Gogo, I’ve come to realize that one cannot exist without the other if I’m to continue trying to carve my name into the monolith of professional artistry. I don’t push myself to be the best I can be if I didn’t have some measure of doubt to fight against. And I don’t love performing if I’m not pushing myself to be the best I can be. While working on Godot led to this epiphany about how to find harmony in my own dissonance, it also highlighted how critical this program’s training has been in creating my foundation as an artist. Without this foundation I might have crumbled under the pressure of taking on such an iconic character. Without this foundation my eternal self-doubt may have simply eroded the better parts of me away over time. Instead I can now embrace my fears, armed with the recognition of their necessity while simultaneously knowing that I can work at a high level and that I’m capable of taking up space in the pantheon of great acting. Accepting that has always been half the battle for me. The other half will always be how to come back to the same spot every day while waiting for my Godot to show up." @default.
