My guest on episode #135 is film director Kim Farrant, who shares her wisdom about the raw truth in performance. She discusses how our emotional blocks prevent us from fully showing up and explains the path to opening up your emotional body, allowing you to bring all of yourself in service of art.

In collaboration with Down Under Film Festival, Kim will bring her renowned workshop "Raw Truth in Performance" to Berlin for the first time. In this podcast episode, we dive deep into the topic of the Masterclass and learn about:

✨ Kim’s creative path and how she got into directing.

✨ Why the things that show up in your life show up in your acting.

✨ How a director’s emotional blocks can influence the performance of the actors.

✨ The different defense mechanisms that can prevent you from showing up fully.

✨ How to use your history and stored emotions in service of your character.

✨ The need for a balance of craft and personal work.

✨ Why you can’t expect your emotional body to open truthfully when you’re not ready to face everything within.

✨ The kind of self-care needed to prepare for a true performance.

✨ Tools you can use to open up your system for a performance.

✨ The difference between boundaries and limitations, and when it’s time to push through.

✨ What her second workshop, "Sexuality on Screen," is about.
