In therapy circles it is understood we all have a Hitler and a Mother Theresa inside us, it doesn’t mean we act them out but they are there none the less and simply being aware of those traits is key to preventing havoc so they don’t take control. To create an environment of non judgement conducive for healing, you have to see, know and accept that whatever your client is experiencing is within you too, so going through that process for many years, gradually you embrace all aspects of yourself without rejecting any of it – the good, the bad and the ugly. Acting however, allows me to tap into that rich, ugly, juicy, real, pool and express it outwardly! However my focus is not on how it looks outside, which is a paradox considering acting is such an image conscious world, it is on connecting with and feeling it for real inside inside and expressing it outwardly. The irony is that this produces mesmerising acting.
