Manage episode 284406594 series 2535412
In this week's show, Kevin talks to very special guest, Geoff Colman, one of the true legends of the theatrical world, and collaborator with national and international practitioners in theatre, film, TV, opera, musical theatre, magic, fashion, music and dance as an acting coach, educator and broadcaster.
Geoff is one of the most respected acting coaches in the country, and in this week's show, he talks to Kevin about his incredible journey and his fascinating perspective into the work that goes into making an actor great.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Being a great acting coach is all about making sure that the lessons aren't seen by the audience. When acting lessons are done well, they are invisible.
- Acting is a surprisingly collaborative process. Many do not realise that making a great actor takes the efforts and skills of many talented people.
- Coaching is not just about teaching the talents required. It's also about teaching a performer about how to deal with stress and anxiety.
- While the pandemic has devastated the industry in many ways, it has also forced many in theatre to reflect upon the reasons for wanting to be there, and in many cases strengthened their resolve to remain.
BEST MOMENTS
'You have to be like a cat burglar. You creep in, creep away, and hope nobody notices' - 3:58
'A lot of my experience with dancers has been quite revolutionary' - 6:53
'It takes a gladiator to walk out in front of an audience like that' - 16:16
'You have to give yourself to an art form in order for you to be able to enter it' - 46:01
