ONE TO ONE WITH THE ACTOR

​

• PERFORMANCE. Together we explore the artistic vision of the director, taking time to process, understand and embed the given direction. 

• CREATIVE RISK.  The actor and I work towards creative risk taking; finding ways to extend their emotional range and feeling confident enough to share their lived experience.

• TRUST. I encourage the actor to find their voice in order to contribute fully in the artistic process.

• CONFIDENCE. I am the actor's 'outside eye' keeping the work  confident, on point, and driven by their own artistic integrity. 

• EMPOWERMENT. I encourage agency and empowerment. Both are key to confidence. Confidence is key to creative excellence.
