00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,720
Who's next,
2
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,439
ladies?
3
00:00:19,439 --> 00:00:22,680
Thank you.
4
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,359
Whoa.
5
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,000
An actor must make his needs or her
6
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:37,520
needs
7
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,640
goals, wants, objectives so strong that
8
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,440
he or she is willing to interfere with
9
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,840
the other actor in order to get what he
10
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,920
or she needs. Interfering means getting
11
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,399
in their way so that what you want is
12
00:00:52,399 --> 00:00:55,120
stronger than what you what they want.
13
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:56,640
Michael Sherliff.
14
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,640
Michael Sherliff. Very nice. Did you add
15
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:00,719
the or she? Yes, you did. I just wanted
16
00:01:00,719 --> 00:01:02,079
to make sure
17
00:01:02,079 --> 00:01:06,359
that we all [ __ ] knew that.
18
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:10,400
What are you going to do?
19
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,240
Uh, this is Helena from Deny Goodyia's
20
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,640
um Eclipsed.
21
00:01:25,759 --> 00:01:28,759
Helena.
22
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:35,280
H E L E N A.
23
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,000
Helena.
24
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,320
That my name.
25
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:42,159
I'm not sure about my last name. I think
26
00:01:42,159 --> 00:01:47,280
it's uh So, Sona or something?
27
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,840
I think it's So,
28
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,399
I have to remember all this thing now.
29
00:01:52,399 --> 00:01:56,240
Where I from? Uh Buchanan. Now what I
30
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,240
going to do now?
31
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,360
What I going to do now?
32
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,240
He called me over. He say s all these
33
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,320
years I be with him he never have me sit
34
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,520
down. Never talk to me like a human to
35
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,520
human.
36
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,520
He said
37
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,280
sit down
38
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,680
the war over. You can go. Pack your
39
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,239
things and go.
40
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,720
All those years
41
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:31,360
I be with him. All those years
42
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:35,840
he make me leave my child in their bush.
43
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,920
He make it so my stomach broken so I
44
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:40,480
don't go bone no more. And he just going
45
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,800
to throw me away like I someone he meet
46
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,760
yesterday.
47
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,400
I scared him.
48
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,280
He said you can go. I don't know what go
49
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,599
mean. You know what going to mean? I
50
00:02:53,599 --> 00:02:56,800
think I think I going to go to Morovia
51
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,040
or something.
52
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,400
Maybe I go start a business.
53
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,519
Maybe I go for a p.
54
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,040
I can go.
55
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,440
I'm free.
56
00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:23,440
Nice.
57
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,000
It's a really interesting piece. Um,
58
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,480
tell us uh
59
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:32,879
the background.
60
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:35,920
Sure. uh Selena, she's one of like four
61
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:42,000
wives um of a like a Liberian officer um
62
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,319
and this is near the end of the play and
63
00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:46,959
sort of like the not missionaries but
64
00:03:46,959 --> 00:03:50,000
the sort of like war relief has come um
65
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,239
near the middle of like the Liberian War
66
00:03:52,239 --> 00:03:55,519
um and it's sort of like over. The war
67
00:03:55,519 --> 00:03:58,080
is over. Uh so she's been a captured
68
00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,519
wife since she was a teenager. She's in
69
00:03:59,519 --> 00:04:02,879
her 20s now. Um, and her husband has
70
00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:05,040
basically told her, her captive, her
71
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:06,560
captor has basically told her she can
72
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,319
go, that the war is over.
73
00:04:08,319 --> 00:04:12,080
Right. It's very interesting. Um,
74
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:13,599
where'd that chair go? There it is. It's
75
00:04:13,599 --> 00:04:17,080
very interesting. Um,
76
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,519
there's a fundamental choice you make,
77
00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:20,720
which I think is a very interesting
78
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,960
choice, but I'd like to try it a
79
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,560
different way now.
80
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,840
And I'm going to put the chair here.
81
00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:30,880
And that is is that there's a kind of
82
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,639
energy and a kind of
83
00:04:34,639 --> 00:04:36,800
attempt to
84
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,080
keep it away.
85
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:39,840
Right?
86
00:04:39,840 --> 00:04:41,040
I'm actually kind of interested in
87
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,199
seeing what happens if you don't keep it
88
00:04:43,199 --> 00:04:47,040
away. But if in fact she has to deal
89
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,360
with it and
90
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,440
all of that energy that you're putting
91
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:52,400
on the outside.
92
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:53,040
Sure.
93
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:54,560
I want to see what happens if you put it
94
00:04:54,560 --> 00:05:01,040
on the inside. And so that the notion of
95
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:02,800
I mean how many of us are ever in a
96
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,720
situation where we literally simply
97
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,280
don't know
98
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:10,720
what to do? Like
99
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,440
that's what I hear is that she's faced
100
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,800
with someone offering her something
101
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,400
however he's offering it,
102
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:23,039
but the offer is you can go.
103
00:05:23,039 --> 00:05:25,680
but literally having no idea what that
104
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,199
means or entails or
105
00:05:29,199 --> 00:05:32,000
the fear of that.
106
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,080
Um,
107
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,400
I'd like to see that
108
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:37,120
not out.
109
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:37,520
Sure.
110
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:38,960
But in. So, I'm just going to ask you to
111
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,479
do it again. This time sit and and in a
112
00:05:42,479 --> 00:05:46,600
sense, I guess, face it.
113
00:05:48,639 --> 00:05:51,639
Helena.
114
00:05:52,639 --> 00:05:59,280
H E L E N A
115
00:05:59,280 --> 00:06:02,280
Helena.
116
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,120
That my name.
117
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:07,919
I'm not sure about my last name. I think
118
00:06:07,919 --> 00:06:09,919
it's
119
00:06:09,919 --> 00:06:11,440
So
120
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,120
Sona or something.
121
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,400
I think it's so
122
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,440
I have to remember all this thing now
123
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,759
where I from Buchanan
124
00:06:25,759 --> 00:06:29,199
what I going to do now
125
00:06:29,199 --> 00:06:33,160
what I going to do now
126
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,039
he call me over he say
127
00:06:37,039 --> 00:06:40,360
sit down
128
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,919
all these years I be with him.
129
00:06:45,919 --> 00:06:49,919
He never have me sit down.
130
00:06:49,919 --> 00:06:55,520
Never talk to me like human to human.
131
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,680
He say, "Sit down.
132
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,240
The war over.
133
00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:06,680
You can go.
134
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,800
Pack your things and go.
135
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,240
All these years
136
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:20,919
I be with him. All these years
137
00:07:21,039 --> 00:07:26,199
he make me leave my child in the bush.
138
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,800
He make my stomach so broken. I no go
139
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,039
have children no more. And he just
140
00:07:33,039 --> 00:07:35,280
control me away like I someone he meet
141
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,759
yesterday.
142
00:07:37,759 --> 00:07:39,280
Okay. What I want you to do just stay
143
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,160
there.
144
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,880
How do you feel about him?
145
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,319
of how you feel about him is that he has
146
00:07:54,319 --> 00:07:57,319
always
147
00:08:04,319 --> 00:08:07,319
shame
148
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,479
and I think
149
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,599
play it as just found out your name that
150
00:08:23,599 --> 00:08:25,759
you never knew
151
00:08:25,759 --> 00:08:27,440
that someone's told you what your name
152
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,720
is and that's remember what your last
153
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,200
name is mostly
154
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,000
shift the power I want you to do it this
155
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,000
time
156
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,399
quietly
157
00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:00,440
I'm not sure about my last name.
158
00:09:00,560 --> 00:09:03,760
I think it's SA
159
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,560
Sona or something.
160
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,480
I think it's so
161
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,560
I have to remember this thing now
162
00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:19,440
where I from be canon
163
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,480
what I can do now
164
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:26,279
what I can do now
165
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:32,320
he call me over he say sit down
166
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,399
all these years I be with him he never
167
00:09:34,399 --> 00:09:36,320
have me sit down never talk to me like
168
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:41,120
human to man. He say, "Sit down. The war
169
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,320
over. You can go.
170
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,279
Pack your things and go."
171
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,440
All these years I be with him all these
172
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,160
years.
173
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:58,240
He make me leave my child in the bush.
174
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,320
He make it so my stomach broken so I
175
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,160
know God have children no more. And he
176
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:03,519
just going to throw me away like I
177
00:10:03,519 --> 00:10:07,320
someone meet yesterday.
178
00:10:09,839 --> 00:10:13,680
You can go pack your things and go.
179
00:10:13,680 --> 00:10:16,320
I don't know what go mean.
180
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,040
You know what go mean?
181
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,920
I think I can go to Monroia.
182
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,720
Start a business or something.
183
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,959
Maybe I could go back to Buchanan and go
184
00:10:30,959 --> 00:10:36,120
find my mom. Maybe they're alive.
185
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,160
I can go now.
186
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,880
I free.
187
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,360
Great.
188
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,880
Now,
189
00:10:58,079 --> 00:11:00,000
we could probably all tell you why that
190
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,399
was different for us. Can you tell us
191
00:11:02,399 --> 00:11:03,440
why it might have been different for
192
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,320
you? remembering that there's actually
193
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:11,279
joy in this and not just fear
194
00:11:11,279 --> 00:11:14,079
that there's like a change in in it.
195
00:11:14,079 --> 00:11:16,399
It's like remembering all those things
196
00:11:16,399 --> 00:11:19,600
and that
197
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,920
and that she can it's not about where
198
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,560
she was, it's where she gets to go. M
199
00:11:24,560 --> 00:11:26,079
the reason I gave you the notes that I
200
00:11:26,079 --> 00:11:27,680
gave you and some of you may or may not
201
00:11:27,680 --> 00:11:29,519
have heard
202
00:11:29,519 --> 00:11:33,120
but I basically asked if this time she
203
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,880
did it that whatever she felt about him
204
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,160
and whether it was in fact fear that for
205
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,880
the first time the power has shifted and
206
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,600
now she's in power and I wanted it to be
207
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,240
quite quiet because I'll tell you why
208
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,000
there's no doubt you're very good and
209
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,120
there's no doubt you have a lot of
210
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,839
talent. Um, what I felt was that you
211
00:11:53,839 --> 00:11:56,240
chose a mood
212
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,480
and you stayed in that mood the entire
213
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,040
piece when you first did it. And that's
214
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:02,560
something that you can sit down again.
215
00:12:02,560 --> 00:12:04,720
That's something that is very easy to
216
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:10,160
have happen. Um, sorry, sorry. Is that
217
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,600
we think, oh, well, this character is
218
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,600
feeling this. this character's in the
219
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,079
middle of this [ __ ] thing and so
220
00:12:18,079 --> 00:12:20,079
that's the mood they're in and I'm going
221
00:12:20,079 --> 00:12:22,639
to play this whole monologue in that
222
00:12:22,639 --> 00:12:24,240
mood
223
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:28,000
from beginning to end but that's not how
224
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,920
we behave and that's not how life is.
225
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,720
We constantly find ourselves shifting
226
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,399
and moving in a different direction and
227
00:12:36,399 --> 00:12:37,680
something else reminds us of something
228
00:12:37,680 --> 00:12:39,360
and then we suddenly go, you know, what
229
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,200
about that [ __ ] moment? And then
230
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:42,959
we're constantly and what we have to
231
00:12:42,959 --> 00:12:45,920
look for in the writing is where those
232
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:51,519
clues are, where something is new,
233
00:12:51,519 --> 00:12:54,959
a new idea is introduced, a new thought.
234
00:12:54,959 --> 00:12:57,920
You know, there's a wonderful uh process
235
00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,200
that I went through with a pretty
236
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,880
incredible acting teacher many many
237
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,440
years ago who had this philosophy and
238
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,920
it's not always right.
239
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,399
And that's the thing about any
240
00:13:10,399 --> 00:13:13,440
school of thought or acting or
241
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,160
style is that it's not always right. But
242
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,639
it was sure interesting to work on which
243
00:13:18,639 --> 00:13:21,839
was that every time we have a new idea,
244
00:13:21,839 --> 00:13:25,480
we take a breath.
245
00:13:30,079 --> 00:13:32,399
And if you think that way when you're
246
00:13:32,399 --> 00:13:35,760
working on something that breath is what
247
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,680
gives us life and that we have to say
248
00:13:39,680 --> 00:13:42,480
that thing and sometimes it's five
249
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,279
breaths in a row because we need more
250
00:13:45,279 --> 00:13:50,160
air to say it and to express it.
251
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:51,600
So, it was just it's an interesting
252
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,600
example of and I'm not saying your mood
253
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,440
wasn't right. It's a good choice. But it
254
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,600
but the problem in terms of how we keep
255
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,720
an audience engaged
256
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,160
through a play for two hours or three
257
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,120
hours through a film through a scene is
258
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,600
we want an audience to not go, "Oh,
259
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:14,800
that's the mood they're in and that's
260
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:15,920
the mood they're staying in and that's
261
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,279
the mood and it never never [ __ ]
262
00:14:17,279 --> 00:14:19,440
changes." What we all feel and
263
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,160
experience when we watch great work is
264
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,040
that it just keeps moving. It keeps
265
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:29,120
surprising us, keep shifting.
266
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,240
And so we in our work have to keep doing
267
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,639
that as well.17983
