Thanks!

For an actor, this quote is a reminder that the goal isn’t just landing the role or “winning” the job, it’s about the craft, the process, and the love of performing. The real value comes from showing up, taking creative risks, and fully engaging in the work, regardless of the outcome.

Those of you who join the Sunday calls will have heard me talking about producing & directing a play. I've now got everything in place, and the show page is now live: 26-29th August Alma Tavern, Bristol Buy Tickets – Black Mountain by Brad Birch – Alma Tavern and Theatre Thanks for the input and discussions that we've had on this project so far.

Hey! My name is Matheo, i’m 14 from Norway and i love acting, dancing and everything that has to do with learning and challenging myself. ! I’m starting acting again after a couple years break (I chose to dance at the norwegian opera so i had to stop), i’ve been in theatre (played Tim Cratchit in a christmas carol at the Norwegian national theatre) and am now looking to break into the film and tv industry and get a manager :)

When Brian Cox says 'The best actors are children, and children don't do research. You never see a child going, 'I'm wondering about my motivation here. How can I do this toy? How can I do this train? I don't feel train.' He's actually saying that acting, at its core, is simply play and imagination. Children are naturally great at this because when they play with a toy train or pretend to be someone else, they fully believe in the moment without overthinking motivation or technique. His point is that many actors overanalyse their performances, while the best acting often comes from spontaneity, instinct, and a willingness to pretend freely just like a child playing a game.
