On this episode of Do It Again But Better, Jess chats to actors and co-directors Eve Morey and Claire Frost, following their recent Fringe show Instructions not Included, written by Claire. Tune in as they share notes on writing, intimacy coordination, the joys of producing, being asked to audition inside a fast food chain, blowing your NIDA callback, and discovering your own Wikipedia page.
Claire's debut play, "Instructions Not Included", is a manifestation of the two sides of her professional personality battling to be heard. One part of her is an actor, disillusioned with her future in acting. The other part is a marketing professional, using her experience and knowledge to find the confidence she needs to move through the world. Throughout Claire's experience as an actor, the role of marketing in theatre and film has always captivated her. When Claire finished her Creative Arts degree at Deakin University, she went to The National Theatre Drama School. Claire completed a Masters of Marketing Communications at the University of Melbourne to engage with the field from an educated perspective. In 2019, Claire returned to acting, completing the Part Time program at the Howard Fine Acting Studio Australia as well as participating in the Acting Masterclass with Howard Fine.
After graduating from NIDA in 2006, Eve has worked as an actor on stage and screen for the past 18 years. Eve is probably most recognised for her nearly decade-long role as Sonya Rebecchi on the long-running serial drama, Neighbours. Eve earned a Silver Logie Nomination for Best Actress and a Gold Logie Nomination in 2019 for her work. Eve’s more recent acting credits include Mystery Road (S2), Total Control (S2) and More Than This, as well as the Sundance award-winning film, Shayda. In early 2019, Eve began to pursue her passion for supporting actors in performance through the role of Acting Coach/Dramaturg, before heading to the UK later that year to undertake Intimacy Coordinator training with Ita O’Brien. As an IC, Eve has supported various screen productions including the feature film, Shayda (Sony Picture Classics), as well as numerous television productions with her more recent credits including Surviving Summer (Netflix), White Fever (ABC) and the yet to be released, Apple Cider Vinegar (Netflix). Following her character’s departure from Neighbours, Eve worked as the serial drama’s resident dramaturg/acting coach for three years.
