Here are some of the highlights  of my interview (this is not a full transcript) The one thing I have picked up myself is that acting is a business. From Paul’s book ‘Actors often have little choice in their career,  they often have to wait at the will of others for decisions to be made that will affect their future.”   I asked Paul what the best way for actors to feel they have control of their career given we can get to the last two and then not book the role, or have long periods of not working. Paul in his very first job was told by a lovely actress Dilys Hamlet, on the first day of the rehearsal and said ‘You read that beautifully, you know that when you’re forty you will never stop’. This was when he was 21. The 19 years in between he did some good work but she was right he got into his own weight. At 40 and 50 he has seen big surges in his career. Paul  settling down in a relationship at the age of 40 and that coincided with knowing himself as a person. As a young actor he would walk into a room feeling confident but giving it ‘what would you like me to be’ However he doesn’t think that works. I think you have to go in saying ‘This is what I am, would you like it?’ He is the best Paul Clayton there is, some people may be breathing a sigh of relief that there is only one. Obviously there are some parts he would love to do but he is not right for, it is not that he isn’t good, just that he isn’t right for it. He was pencilled for a very big voice-over last week and then his agent said ‘Oh they went the other way.’ They have gone the other way because of something they heard in that other person’s voice. What wins people over is you the person, that is what we bring to acting. Some people confuse this with typecasting but what we bring is our own uniqueness and a lot of our life is about finding out who we are and when we settle into that we know what we are selling as it were. I mention how now I know I play yummy mummies very well and crazy strong women. Occasionally they merge as with the film I did with Paul where I played a coke snorting yummy mummy. The work for me has improved since I  have fallen or rather grown into these categories. A good friend said to his partner that ‘the thing about Paul is that he has made a career from being either stern or camp’. Paul  is sure he has done the two together. He always jokes he has made a career about being posh or Northern and on a really good day he plays a posh Northerner. There is truth that the more you single it down the more people know what they are looking at. He knows that when he did Peep Show 7 years ago that that just opened up a whole new area as it was brilliant writing and the audience could identify a type and then to know what to send Paul up for in casting. From that he went up for lots of dads in sitcoms and grumpy dads. It gets you through the door and that was interesting. I ask how much have you pro-actively opened doors? He had a great tutor at drama school called John McGregor and he taught the best class ‘Presentation  Technique’ but he said Every day do one thing that may result in work and then get on with being who you are, because who you are will result in you getting the work’ Paul directed a lot of rep in his 30s and thus did a lot of casting; you can see the desperation in some actors. You have the job until you open the door. and then when you step in the room, most of what you do is taking you aw[...] Actors, Auditions, Casting, Directors, Filmmakers, Inspiration, Motivation, Networking, Podcast Marysia Trembecka Actress/Blogger/Writer & Performer of her own shows no no https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/03/11/youve-got-to-win-youve-got-to-risk-everything/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/03/11/youve-got-to-win-youve-got-to-risk-everything/#respond Tue, 11 Mar 2014 16:05:18 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=2765 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2014/03/11/youve-got-to-win-youve-got-to-risk-everything/feed/ 0 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/09/14/georgina-sowerby-on-acting-devising-being-an-inspirational-theatre-maker/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/09/14/georgina-sowerby-on-acting-devising-being-an-inspirational-theatre-maker/#comments Sat, 14 Sep 2013 11:37:03 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=1698 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/09/14/georgina-sowerby-on-acting-devising-being-an-inspirational-theatre-maker/feed/ 4 0:37:33 Georgina Sowerby is a successful actress, having worked at the National, the Royal Court as well as on various TV and film projects and is the co-founder of Dirty Market Theatre.

Podcast interview with some highlights below. She is not a trained producer, she learns as the piece demands. However production is very much part of making your own work. She talks about the devising process of Dirty Market Theatre. Make a mini performance to show your ideas, making little tableaus and things have strange connections. One of the questions was ‘What is your favourite fairy tale for now’ and out of that they have devised a fairy tale for adults. Fairy tales are gory, dark and looking at the older fairy tales is very different from the saccharine of todays childrens’ programmes. We talk about devising, establishing the through line of the narrative, how an audience and critics likes to have a central message. In contemporary art we do not expect a narrative but in theatre the audience is very educated. Oxbow Lakes is immersive in that the audience is promenaded and also involved emotionally in the characters, using three different spaces within the previously unused for theatre site. We mention PunchDrunk and YouMeBumBum Train. Georgina and her business and life partner Jon Lee are co-directors in Dirty Market Theatre and we discuss how you work out the schedule of family and creating art. The joy of making your own stuff is because you get creative control and as an actor sometimes you are not meant to have creative ideas. Anyone in the space be it set designer, lighting or actor, all their views are valid. Dirty Market call themselves ‘theatre bricoleur’, French for DIY, so using music, art, philosophy and you tinker with it rather than having a grand scheme. Picasso says )paraphrased) ‘You have a concept for a painting, but the moment the pink paint hits the canvas, the painting speaks to you” So a framework is good but you need to be able to move within it. Robert Altman ‘Pick any 5 great moments in my films and they all will be mistakes’ We talk on how mistakes work, and how a player is missing ‘the audience’ before you start the show. The live aspect. Jon Lee wants to make a film but Georgina is in love with the live performance but is reassured that it will be ‘arthouse’ I have learnt in both Jon and Georgina’s classes about Bacchus, the muse. We talked about moving from being a successful actress to devising. Georgina went to Drama Centre but then assisted James Neale-Kennely She loves the empowerment of emplying the resources in the room, and being inspired by group work. She has been very inspired by Anne Bogart’s work and being delighted with what people to bring.   How has she kept the fire going within art and theatre? Georgina replied ‘Being really stubborn and having the realisation that she is not constitutionally able to wait for someone to allow her to be creative. Her background is when you want to go and paint you just do so, not wait for someone to tell you. She loves making opportunities for herself and others. She has the wonderful analogy of a chick pushing through the egg and how it needs aggression to live. Her determination is about having a choice about your life. This is why she loves teaching adults and opening their lives and hearts. I talk about the Meissner high when adults finally feel free to express She loves being an actor but hates the business of being an actor with sending CV’s out, Shirley Henderson ‘Eventually you have to decide what makes you happy’ and Georgina has found another way of doing it, by A designer, Sutra Gilmour ‘Don’t try to be original, be personal” OXBOW LAKES 4th – 28th September ’13 Wednesday – Saturday at 7:30pm For tickets and more information: www.dirtymarket.co.uk Georgina and Jon do Rough Classics, workshops on devising – link here http://www.dirtymarket.co.uk/here About Marysia and Love Your Creativity I blog at least three times a we[...] Podcast Marysia Trembecka Actress/Blogger/Writer & Performer of her own shows no no https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/05/16/10-how-to-find-the-katniss-everdeen-inside-of-you/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/05/16/10-how-to-find-the-katniss-everdeen-inside-of-you/#respond Wed, 15 May 2013 23:12:01 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=788 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/05/16/10-how-to-find-the-katniss-everdeen-inside-of-you/feed/ 0 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/05/15/pt-9-what-gifts-do-inaction-procrastination-give-you/ https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/05/15/pt-9-what-gifts-do-inaction-procrastination-give-you/#comments Tue, 14 May 2013 23:07:37 +0000 http://loveyourcreativity.com/?p=760 https://loveyourcreativity.com/2013/05/15/pt-9-what-gifts-do-inaction-procrastination-give-you/feed/ 3
