Oh, boss 35 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: is going outside Tebby's little coffee. That's cute you see 36 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: down on the patio. Oh now for getting Foma, I 37 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: feel like I'm missing out. 38 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 2: Okay. So yeah, so that's what I've been doing at. 39 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,639 Speaker 1: Night times, and it's really cool because not to dive 40 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: too much into acting school stuff, I promise I will 41 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: talk about bar. 42 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 2: And Bay life with you. 43 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,359 Speaker 1: But it's really cool because this acting teacher doesn't believe 44 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,639 Speaker 1: that acting should have a psychological cost on you personally, 45 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: which is kind of like some forms of thinking like 46 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: you would have heard of method acting before, and like 47 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: Heath Ledger's quite famous for being a method actor, and 48 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: kind of like it's where the actor takes on the 49 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: kind of like character and becomes that character and like 50 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: lives the way that character lives, and a lot of 51 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 1: act does do it. It's apparently, I think it's quite 52 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: an American style or trait. So this teacher doesn't believe 53 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: in that, which is great because I don't and I've 54 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 1: spent too many years on therapy to want to drudge 55 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 1: up stuff. So she taught us this thing called physical gesture, 56 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: which is really really cool. And so it's like where 57 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: you find a movement or gesture that you can just 58 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: do like minutely on say a self tape, so no 59 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: one would know you're doing it, but it can make 60 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: you feel a certain way. And so the scene that 61 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: I'm doing is I'm trying to leave my husband in 62 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: the scene and he's trying to get back together with me. 63 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: And I noticed when I was doing rehearsals, I'd kind 64 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: of like scrunch my hands up and kind of wring 65 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: my hands out because it's really uncomfortable, Like you love 66 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: this person, but you want to leave this person, and 67 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: they love you as well, and so there's this all 68 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: this hope in the air, but you're trying to do 69 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: the right thing by your kids. 70 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 2: Like really interesting. 71 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: And it's actually from a movie that came out last 72 00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: year called Another Round. 73 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 2: A Danish movie. Pretty unreal. 74 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: I'd highly recommend seeing Another Round if you can get 75 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: your hands on it somehow. And it's got that famous 76 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: Danish I'm pretty sure he's a Danish actor called Mad's 77 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: I should. 78 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 2: Know, but you'd know him from a lot of blockbusters. Right. 79 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 1: Oh, So that's been what my nights have been filled with. 80 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: I've got two more days of that and then Noley arrives. 81 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: My dad gets to Byron Bay, so we've got some 82 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 1: awesome stuff planned for him. So Dad and I going 83 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: kayaking with the Dolphins Saturday morning. 84 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 2: I think we're going to. 85 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 1: Take him to some of our favorite spots because I've 86 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 1: got acting school Friday night. I think Boss might take 87 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: him to Woods for dinner, and then yeah, I'll taking 88 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: kayaking Saturday morning. 89 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 2: We've got Bangalow Market Sunday. 90 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 1: I reckon Boss is going to want to take him 91 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: to Harvest because they do these delicious pastry goods. On 92 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 1: Sunday morning, and it's a really nice area to check 93 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: out in Yuriba. It's a really good thing if you're 94 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 1: staying in Byron or Bangalow and you just want to 95 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 1: go for like a coffee and pastry day going to 96 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: Harvest because there's like half a dozen really cute village 97 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: style shops around there and everything. It feels like its 98 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: own little world. It's a really really, really nice feel. 99 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 1: So if you're coming to Barron Bay, definitely put Neuribar 100 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: on your list, and Harvest is where we go. I'm 101 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: keen to potentially take him to Dome if you've got 102 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,720 Speaker 1: time Japanese. I don't think we're gonna have that much time, 103 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: though maybe RAYS would love to take him on just 104 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: ste even the lighthouse walk or waterfall walk. But I 105 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,479 Speaker 1: think the kayaking's what him and I've both had our 106 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: heart sets on. So what they you go out in 107 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 1: the morning, we you can do morning on afternoon, but 108 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,919 Speaker 1: I've done a morning booking. You go out and new 109 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 1: kayak with dolphins and the goal is that you'll see 110 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: dolphins and turtles out. 111 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 2: In Barron Bay. 112 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: I'm trying to not think about the potential sharks, but 113 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: I won't. I don't think you swim like, I'm pretty 114 00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: sure you stay in your kayak. See if you're had 115 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: a way to keep my phone dry, because if I'm tandem, 116 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: like you're tandem kayaking with dad, my dad is uncoordinated, 117 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 1: so we know we could fall. 118 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 2: That's what I'm kind of getting at. 119 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 1: Also, of course, on a Friday episode, we'll be talking 120 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: about we do a book review. We're going to do 121 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: Samantha Will's book review because she her episode came out 122 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 1: on Monday, so I like to do the book review 123 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 1: for the Monday episode if that person has a book. 124 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: Next Monday's app will be with one of my acting teachers, 125 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: Julia Grace, who's wonderful. 126 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 2: She's kind of got no filter, which is really nice. 127 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 2: So it's like this very honest chat. 128 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: I recorded it in Melbourne before I moved to Byron, 129 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 1: so this was recorded probably five months ago. And because 130 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 1: I've into quite a few of my acting teachers, I 131 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 1: try to like spread them out so it's not like 132 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: you've got a hunk of acting teachers and then you've 133 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: got a hunk of like TV personalities or whatnot. So 134 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: it's yeah, Julia Grace is coming out on Monday, which 135 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,479 Speaker 1: is really exciting. She when I was at school, she 136 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: taught us a lot of for any actors or creative 137 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: listening Meisner technique, and I'm pretty sure I hope says right. 138 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: Stephen Wolf is where she trained, and I think that's 139 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: a theater company in Chicago. And it was really cool 140 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: because again she doesn't believe on acting having a psychological 141 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: like a negative psychological impact on you, and you know, 142 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: I really find that very freeing and I find it 143 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: a very sustainable way to work in the field of acting. 144 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: Like even in last Night's course, you know, there are 145 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: twelve people going up and the scenes vary from like 146 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: I'm going through my characters going through a pretty full 147 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: on marriage breakdown, you know, whereas somebody else's there's you know, 148 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: being misconduct in the workplace, sexual misconduct in the workplace, 149 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: and they're facing that. You know, there's a lot of 150 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: layers and elements to all of these people, like any 151 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: other human being. But it is really nice to access 152 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: that without yeah, costing yourself psychologically anyway. That's obviously me 153 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: because I'm just obsessed with therapy and seeing my therapist 154 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: is like my non negotiable, which I have been doing 155 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: this whole time I've been in Byron. I don't know 156 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: if I've told you that.
