An #acting #coaching client did a take informing the other character of what was going on. For the next take, had them try something more personal too, and the subtle shift, the greater intimacy, was such a good layer to add. Good to see my client find that.

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.
