Explored with an #acting #coaching client the spaces between, under and within lines, found our way to reignite playing with the script, not to break it, but to meet it and find where it actually lives, breathes and happens. Cool finding new ways old material can live.

Worked with an #acting #coaching client on an emotionally pitched scene. Using different techniques, it was good to see them discovering how this character reacts. Very different than my client would themselves. Good to see a character getting found.

Working with an #acting #coaching client on their audition piece and found a direction for it to go toward the end that found its authenticity, and dare I say, fun in the scene. Really good to see them reveal that.
