    Demystifying Method Acting w/ Rachel Bailit

    Demystifying Method Acting w/ Rachel Bailit

    Actor and acting teacher Rachel Bailit not only gets generous with her time and expertise, she also helps us understand what generosity has to do with the work of an actor in our chat about demystifying method acting and how to balance the use of our own selves and memories in our work with the ability to let go and stay attentive in the moment. Pull out all your masks and shove this in their earholes and then go get the vaccine.

    ONE COOL THINGS:

    Rachel: Communicating through Ancient Greek vases.

    (Rachel's "Sense Memory in Art tour discussing an ancient Greek Amphora" video)

    Composers & Concussions w/ David Federman

    Composers & Concussions w/ David Federman

    From frequencies and ethics around shaping sound for film to working with masters and having an actual dragon as a part of production, composer David Federman chats with Cales about the work they’ve done together and the journeys he’s experienced along his trajectory as a music maker in the film industry, including all the Spanish dancing and concussions along the way!



    COOL THINGS:



    David: I'm the arranger/orchestrator of Back and Forth (music/book/lyrics by Dayjan Lesmond), which is a musical about... totally not being okay. It explores the artist's journey and struggles with mental health... and by the way, we have a dragon. Avail to watch here:

    Cales: Meet yourself where you’re at. 



    Justin: sneakin’ in there via Happs audience member Frank’s “⏱” post (fun lil Easter egg for ya beauty live viewers!)
